Lelystad Speaks: your story deserves a stage
For a new edition of Lelystad Speaks! we are looking for people with a story of their own. Big or small stories, happy memories or difficult moments, special experiences, life lessons, adventures, detours, new discoveries: anything that is really yours.
During the previous edition, residents spoke candidly about resilience, loss, hope, identity and unexpected turns in their lives. This impressed, touched, and brought people closer together. This year, we again want to give such personal, recognisable and connecting stories a place, and maybe yours is one of them.
