Corona news letter April 14 / Corona news letter April 14

Dear tenant, dear tenant

Now, after weeks of lockdown, I hear more and more how people are arming themselves against the consequences of the corona crisis. Not least artists and creatives in Rotterdam. While attention is rightly focused on care, and we are gaining new insights into our collective behaviour, I see pearls passing by, initiatives and projects that link resilience to innovation. Even corona can't stop creativity, as it turns out.

That's encouraging, and it's time to pay attention to that. That's what we're going to do in the next few weeks. Esther Muñoz Grootveld of De Wasserij will take the lead, with her blog.

And: the Minister of Culture (Van Engelshoven) has just announced that she is looking for solutions for the cultural sector, and that she is not looking for them within the culture budget; that too, for the time being, is encouraging.

First of all the information: on the websites below you can find what the government, the municipality and others do.

About emergency suits and our graduate service

What can help?

It is still possible to sign up for our project to pay your rent by doing a job. If you can't do the job yourself, but you need it, please let us know. There are also people who want to do jobs for others.

If paying the rent becomes a problem, please let us know as soon as possible. We can then examine together whether, for example, a payment arrangement could be a solution. In any case, we ask you not to stop paying rent just like that.

We strive to be reachable by phone every day between 10 and 14 hours. And so far we have been able to do so. At the office we only receive those who need a key, for example, or need to hand something over. And many of you know how to reach us by e-mail. However, it is possible that you do not reach us or that e-mail does not succeed. That is why we have made it possible for you to reach us via Whatsapp. We will read the messages several times a day.

Corona doesn't kill creativity

Dear tenant,
Despite all the hardships, people are increasingly arming themselves against the consequences of the corona crisis; not the least artists and creatives in Rotterdam. While attention is rightly focused on care, and we gain new insights into our collective behavior, I see pearls passing by, initiatives and projects that connect resilience with innovation. It is time to also pay attention to this; we will do that in the coming weeks. Esther Muñoz Grootveld of De Wasserij will kick things off with her blog.

First of all, the websites below may help you find information:
