Our Mission
Voem believes in the positive power of socio-cultural encounters in super-diversity.
As a bridge builder, we want to strive for unity in diversity and diversity in unity.
We do this by connecting, deepening and reinforcing the super-diversity of talents in the wider society. In this way, we show a nuanced picture of the human being in all his layers, which leads to a feeling of positive securityamong a wide audience.
Together, we are moving forward in a sustainable, inclusive, pluralistic way.
Our Values
Constructive criticism
We are unbiased, open and independent. We do not assume to be right, but reach out by engaging in dialogue with an eye for multi-perspectiveness and critical reflection. This is how we can strengthen inclusive and shared citizenship.

History
On the occasion of Voem’s 30th anniversary, the book ‘From the front row, from multiculture to superdiversity: Thirty years of living together through the eyes of VOEM’ was written by historian Tina De Gendt.
The book paints a picture of (world) history through the eyes of Voem. For this, the author relied on Voem’s archive that was transferred to Amsab, the institute for social history.
