Traveling photo exhibition – Discover the power of connection

Amsterdam Buddies is a photo exhibition traveling throughout the city over the coming months, taking you on a unique journey. Part of Amsterdam’s 750th Anniversary celebration, the exhibition celebrates the value and impact of volunteer work, featuring ten compelling portraits and stories of Amsterdammers who dedicate themselves to helping others. Each month, the exhibition will be presented in a different district, on new bridges that symbolize the connection between volunteers and those seeking help. Because buddy volunteering is a bridge to social contact, enjoyment, and purpose for both.
