About this Event
Donker naar Licht: Sunrise at NEMO Science Museum
Get ready for a breathtaking experience at the NEMO Science Museum! Join us for a special event where we will witness the transition from darkness to light as the sun rises over the city. It's a magical moment you won't want to miss.
In Amsterdam, in collaboration with Nemo, we have access to the Museum's gigantic rooftop terrace. You are welcome from 5 o'clock in the morning. Entrance is via the long staircase on the outside of the museum. There, we will watch the sunrise together at the most beautiful spot available in Amsterdam.
Speakers and information stands will be present. But above all, it will be a place to come together to reflect on those who are struggling, the survivors and the cargivers.Come and enjoy the beauty of dawn with us!
This event is part of wider movement, Donker naar Licht, which takes place over the whole of the Netherlands. On June 23rd, we move together from darkness to light. Literally and figuratively. To raise awareness for mental health, to be with those who are struggling, and to emphasize the importance of suicide prevention. Across various locations in the Netherlands, we experience the sunrise together: walking, cycling, sitting, listening; in a way that suits you. As long as there are encounters.
The event is also to raise funds for 113, the national suicide crisis line, which strives for a country in which no one dies alone or desperate by suicide. For that we have to learn more, because suicide is always very complex, there is never one single cause, and more research is needed for targeted prevention. And also, we have to talk more, because there is still a taboo on talking about suicide, while the conversation is so important. People with suicidal thoughts often struggle with this loneliness and despair. Talking can break through this and be the beginning of a solution. Such a conversation is daunting, but everyone can learn to do it.
