Description

On 1 February 2013, it will be 60 years since Zeeland, South Holland, West Brabant and also Texel were hit by the water. Reason for KIVI NIRIA and the Watersnoodmuseum to jointly organise a series of nine lectures in the run-up to the commemoration on 1 February. From Thursday 29 November to 31 January, with the exception of 27 December, there will be an interesting lecture every Thursday afternoon at the Watersnoodmuseum in Ouwerkerk.

Annebeth Loois, as a hydrologist, process manager and water management lecturer, is able to bridge the gap between gamma and beta sciences. As project leader at Tygron, she directly builds this bridge through serious gaming. Serious games are the tool to make the complex issues of water, climate and area development understandable and manageable.
Thus, she uses both the process of creating serious games and playing them to make policymakers, administrators, the public and also students aware and to challenge them to solve the problem in the safe environment of the game. One of the serious games developed by Tygron is the Delta Viewer, on display at the Watersnoodmuseum and developed on behalf of the Delta Commissioner.

Each lecture will have the following programme:

15.30-16.00: Walk-in with coffee and Bolus
16.00-17.00: Lecture
17.00-17.30: Snack and drink to talk after

Optionally bookable: From 6pm: Especially for visitors to these lectures: a 3-course menu at the adjacent Brasserie De Vierbannen. Known and acclaimed for its excellent, seasonal menu. See also www.devierbannen.nl
