Opening of our 2nd day by Farid Tabarki, founding director of Studio Zeitgeist and a sought-after keynote speaker, debate moderator and event host. He is the author of the widely acclaimed book ‘The end of the middle - What a society of extremes means to people, businesses and government’. Farid presented the parliamentary election edition of MTV Coolpolitics and the television program Dare to Think, from Socrates to Sartre (both were broadcasted on Dutch television). In 2016 he was a member of Platform Onderwijs 2032: commissioned by the Dutch government, the platform presented a vision on Dutch education policy moving towards the year 2032. Last but not least, Farid is a true world traveller: he plans to visit all the countries of the world. The counter currently stands at 159 so he has only 39 countries more to go.
