Partos is closed on 1 July

Partos is close to Keti Koti

Today we celebrate Keti Koti, literally ‘chains broken’. The day on which slavery is remembered and freedom celebrated in the Netherlands every year. At Partos, we also celebrate Keti Koti, precisely because the origins of our work is so closely linked to our colonial history.

That is why our office is closed today. We will be available again on Wednesday.

Petition: International cooperation, especially now!

The new coalition consisting of PVV, VVD, BBB and NSC is cutting hundreds of millions from development cooperation in the coming years. Starting in 2027, these will become billions, namely 2.4 billion per year. Little will remain of the already limited budget for international cooperation after 2027. That is why we are taking action now. Don’t let the world down, sign the petition to stop the cuts in international cooperation.
