The talk show is more than just a stage; it is a meeting place for inspiration, connection and creativity. 'The new sound of Rotterdam' gives space to the voices that make a difference in the city, from music and fashion to literature.

About 'At sixteen'

'In je zes' is a new platform that focuses on personal growth, resilience, sports, education, creativity and connection. With podcasts, coaching, educational school programs,

workshops and lifestyle events, the platform inspires and supports young people to find their voice and make their dreams come true.

The concept of 'In je 16' is inspired by the football pitch, where the 16-meter area is a crucial zone where action takes place and players are challenged to score or defend. This idea is translated into reality, where young people are encouraged to overcome their fears, achieve success and take on challenges. 'In je 16' wants to help young people become resilient to setbacks and stressors, and empower them to pursue their goals and become more socially and emotionally resilient.
