Launch West Side Tori's #2

Wednesday, April 17 marks the launch of the second edition of West Side Tori's, the newspaper for and by Westsiders, created by 7/8 pupils of OBS De Toekomst in Amsterdam Nieuw-West in collaboration with Jaleesa Clows and David Smeulders.

The school children were given the opportunity to shape the content of the newspaper with topics and sections they felt were important, and share them with fellow Amsterdam residents. The students arrived at the content of the newspaper in several sessions at school and in the neighborhood and were supported by a writer, artist and cook, among others. So you can read about visiting an art exhibition, recipe of their favorite food and a list of favorite books. In addition, the paper includes a special interview with Sandra Doevendans.

West Side Tori's can be picked up for free at various OBA locations in New West. You can find a freely available, online version of the newspaper here (PDF).

Come along to the launch of this second edition on Wednesday, April 17 between 12:00 and 13:00 at OBA Postjesweg (Postjesweg 340).
