Hier is ruimte voor talent. Ruimte om te leren. Om te werken. Om te groeien. Om je verder te ontwikkelen. Om het beste uit jezelf te halen. Bovendien is hier ruimte om te wonen, te sporten en te genieten. Er gaat niets boven Groningen.
On Monday the 6th of June, the talents came together at Imono. This time three pitches where scheduled. Healthy ageing, Tocht om de Noord and Charistar. Our chairman Vincent opened the first pitch at 21.30. Below a short summary of the Pitches is given.
Healthy Ageing
The successful Night of Arts and Science will be followed by the Healthy Ageing Week in June 2012. A range of events will be organized around the theme: growing older in an active and healthy way. Our challenge: how can we organize an event during the Healthy Ageing Week that attracts the young and talented? We need five talents to help us find an answer to that question and to help us organize the event. We offer: A visit to Brussels, with a closer look behind the scenes of European politics.

Charistar
Charistar supports non-profit organizations, the business sector and the public authorities, in contributing to the society through philanthropy. The aim is to stimulate the involvement of the private sector with the public domain. Abroad the concept has already proven to be very successful but it is relatively new in the Netherlands. Therefore a national pilot is set up, of which one takes place in Groningen. The goal is to establish a Groningen Community Foundation. A group of five to ten talents is what they asked for. They need talents who want to contribute to the successful roll out of this foundation.

Tocht om de noord
Tocht om de Noord is a hiking tour through the province of Groningen. Every year around 4.000 people join this tour. The main goal: discovering Groningen and let people find special places they have never seen before by literally walking through houses and other buildings. This year about 10 settled talents will walk the tour. These talents will be filmed throughout their 4 or 8 km walk. About ten talents are needed to walk in pairs with these settled talents and tell their stories on radio and television. In this way you can make yourself famous in Groningen and let people at home get famous with Groningen.

After the pitches Imono served drinks and Sushi. Despite of the relatively low attendance, the good atmosphere and the great responses to the pitches made the evening a success.
