Civitas has scheduled its first event for 2024 on Saturday, January 27 from 10:00 am until noon at Crossroads College Preparatory School. We are pleased to have Roel Harryvan, a former UN Peacekeeper through the Royal Netherlands Army, scheduled to talk to students. Roel and his family have lived in St. Louis since 1995 so Roel could be the Honorary Consul for the Netherlands, his home country, covering Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska. Join us to hear Roel talk about all of his adventures, both as a UN Peacekeeper and as an Honorary Consul. Roel will share updates of current UN Peacekeeping endeavors and answer any questions you have about his past and current experiences working to bridge cultures and foster peace.
This event is free to high school and middle school students.
Light breakfast snacks will be served.
