RCD Coffee Talk
COFFEE TALK
Getting together for coffee and a friendly chat was just one of the things we had to miss out on this past year. With that in mind, we asked you who’s the first person you’d want to sit down for a coffee with.

AAT BRAND (66)
CITY OF ROTTERDAM
‘I think it would be really wonderful to go for coffee with the Antillean-born artist Anton Vrede. He’s lived in Rotterdam for years and his work is very intercultural. That’s probably to do with his background, but it makes me curious about what inspires him. I wager it would be a fascinating conversation.’
SASHA VAN HOORN (20)
INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AND ORGANIZATIONS
‘Finally this winter I’ll be able to visit my parents in Mozambique. The only downside is I won’t see my best friend Sterre for a longer time. Because of social distancing, it’s been a while. Spending a few hours to catch up over a cup of hot cocoa is high on my list.’
MICLE JALIENS (66)
TAX OFFICE IN ROTTERDAM
‘That’s an easy one for me: with my co-workers chatting around the office coffee machine. We’ve all been working from home for months, and having that moment to chat over coffee is something I really miss. When we have that back, I’ll be a happy man.’

KWK HUISVESTINGSREGISSEURS
‘A former colleague, Sef Hendrickx, and I did a fun project together and we always kept in touch after that. But with the pandemic it’s been almost a year now. It would be so nice to be able to really look each other in the face over a cup of coffee and to hear what he’s up to these days.’
EELCO WORTMAN (36)
SELF-EMPLOYED PHOTOGRAPHER
‘This period we’ve been living in for nearly a year makes me very curious about Mark Rutte. Not politically, but about him as a person and his opinions. It’s been a tough time for everyone, and he has to unite us as a country. I really wonder what it’s like for him, and that would make for great coffee conversation.’
ROSE DALTON (19)
BALLET DANCER
‘I’ve been away from my home in Australia for several years now. Before coming to the Netherlands I lived in Germany for a few years and my best friend still lives there. It’s been nine months since we last saw each other. It would be super nice to have drinks with him again.’
