DAY 4 OF THE INTERNATIONAL WEEK BUILT ENVIRONMENT
Day 4 begins with a lecture on tiny houses and tiny living, followed by continued work on the climate change project. In the afternoon, a keynote speaker presents, and students conclude their climate change workshop with presentations. The day ends with social events: a culinary walk for staff and a bbq for students organized by Trifonius.
Tiny Houses and everything that comes with it
Marjolein Jonker is the leading expert on Tiny Houses in the Netherlands. In May 2016, she became the first legal Tiny House resident in the country, living off-grid in Alkmaar. Now, she resides in a new Tiny House in Olstergaard, Olst. She inspires thousands through her talks, writing, and her blog, Marjolein in het klein. She founded the Tiny House Netherlands foundation and the TinyFindy platform. Her book, Tiny Houses: From Dream to Reality, published in October 2023, shares her extensive knowledge on tiny living.
Passionate and engaging, Marjolein promotes the Tiny House movement with enthusiasm, humor, and honesty. Curious about tiny living in the Netherlands and the possibilities for living small, sustainably and simply? Don’t miss her talk!
