Inspiring sessions and memorable stories with Blancolour

About the author
The name's Ciaran, a 27-year-old guy who loves the idea of a discovery, even if it actually isn't one. Among many other Sherlock Holmes adventures, searching for art and music is what keeps me going. High Five!

They say the older you get, the wiser you get. And let me be honest, if there’s one thing I do know now, it’s that everyone has a story to tell. Ok, they’re not always the most inspiring stories ever, but I truly believe that people always have an element of surprise in them; an ability to catch you off guard with something spectacular. Precisely this, is what triggered Sebastiaan Wubben to kickstart Blancolour and share these stories through intimate mini-workshops.

It’s about letting others experience the expertise and passion of a certain individual.

Sebastiaan’s genuine interest in people is what gave him the idea to start organising the Blancolour events. A physiotherapist by day, he often meets people who have the most extraordinary hobbies you’d never expect from them. Shedding a light on these fascinations is the foundation for Blancolour. It’s about letting others experience the expertise and passion of a certain individual and giving the visitor a story to tell themselves.

The most recent session was with a comic strip artist, but the speakers range from a fanatic birdwatcher to an inspiring woman who is deaf but can now hear again, from a bronzed-up bodybuilder to a wine connaisseur. Each session kicks off with a personal interview and interesting insights into this person’s passion. Then it’s time for the ‘workshop’ element; interaction is key for these events. I can personally say, you’ll be very surprised as to what you can learn during one afternoon.

Upcoming Blancolour events:

Birdwatching (2nd edition) – May 4th
Smelling – May 18th
