Friendship is an illusion, is the one of the lines of a famous Dutch song. Friendships have been made ever since the existence of mankind. But what is a friend and what is friendship?

Objective and contents
During this workshop we will take a look at some historical friendships, and at what ‘great thinkers’ such as Aristoteles and Montaigne have said about it.
We will also investigate some technics for making, maintaining or – unfortunately also – ending friendships. This workshop will be one big ‘friendship experiment’, during which we might even make new friends together. At the end we will all conclude whether or not friendship is indeed an illusion.

This workshop is intended for everybody who is interested in this subject, in the art of friendship.
