Take a 3D Tour – Vliegen (as per below)

Take a tour. Have a look at what our Te Awahou – Nieuwe Stroom multi-purpose facility will look like.  
The purpose of the Dutch Connection is to: “Celebrate the Many Lively Connections between Nederland / The Netherlands and Aotearoa / New Zealand”.

As you can see, the Te Awahou – Nieuwe Stroom complex will enable us to do a great many things.

• Create an icon that can symbolise the proud Dutch presence in New Zealand: a place where we can acknowledge the origins, culture and heritage of the Nederlandse New Zealanders, and celebrate what they have achieved and contributed to this country
• Inform, educate and inspire New Zealand about its Dutch Connections
• Act as a focal point for a Dutch Community that is spread far and wide throughout the country
• Build a ‘home’ - a place with a sense of national identity that offers a warm sense of ‘thuis’ - where we can proudly host guests and welcome them in for ‘een kopje koffie’ and  celebrate the strong bonds between the Dutch and New Zealanders
• Provide exciting experiences, using multimedia, art, creativity and technology to work on all the senses: from the visual to the intellectual, taste to smell, pride to humility, laughter to tears, and from listening to debate
• Showcase the difficulties as well as the achievements of a highly successful migration story, and illustrate the benefits of multi-culturalism
• Create a centre that can enhance the present and help shape the future by providing a platform - for two small, smart, down-to-earth, seafaring nations that have much more in common than just a few historic events – to explore cooperation through

• Artistic, scientific, educational and cultural exchanges
• Forums for political cooperation, scientific debate, business cooperation
