Queen Máxima kicked off Community Centre Week during her recent visit to Dorpshuus Hoenderloo.
On Monday, the queen visited a community centre, which will be open from 7 to 14 April.
According to Máxima, “community centres are important meeting places in neighbourhoods and villages. You can gain knowledge, undertake fun activities and meet new people. Playing darts, volleyball, acting, or drinking coffee and having a chat: a community centre brings people together.
Willem-Alexander’s wife received a warm welcome. She enjoyed a musical performance by the brass band and percussionists of the VIOS music association.
