Inside you find a world where the new comes crashing down on the old, and the future is anything but clear. A world created by the English company dreamthinkspeak. Artistic director Tristan Sharps’ mix of film and live performance was based on Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard. The old servant Firs is the only one still wandering about, adrift in time, looking for a place to rest. He leads us from the Old Russia to a mecca for the new millennium, a journey spanning hundred years and covering fifty four thousand square feet of floor space, which makes you realise what it means to feel a stranger in your own world. Please note: this is a continuing performance. People will be given admission in small groups every 5 minutes.  So please buy or order your ticket in advance at www.hollandfestival.nl, then we can enter the theater together as the epwn group.   Location :       FOZ-gebouw, Zuidas Gustav Mahlerlaan 300 Amsterdam  near Station Zuid             entrance fee Euro (€) 20    Posted in events, socials | No Comments » Gender differences related to the unwritten rules of business events » EuropeanPWN Amsterdam | workshop gender differences in business Jun ’11 28 19:00 No matter in which industry you work, the rules are the same all over. For all women it is important to learn the rules of the game in business. Not to adjust but to make their own choice whether to play the same game or to play their own game. Playing the game in business is fun and as it is written, it is a game! During this workshop  you will find out the rules on yourself and you will see a video that makes clear how gender differences appear and how you can use them in a positive way. The program will be very dynamic and members and guests are asked to participate actively in discussions. Many examples from business will be presented to support the topics that appear. Monic Buhrs (1962, originally from Australia) has an engineering and financial background.
