The Colony of Benevolence in Frederiksoord: Birthplace of our modern welfare state.
The colony of Benevolence in Frederiksoord is considered as the birthplace of our modern wellfarestate and received a UNESCO world heritage status because of it.
It all started with Johannes van den Bosch in the early 19th century. He came back to the Netherlands after spending 12 years in Indonesia, a Dutch colony at the time.
He found the Netherlands in extreme poverty. This was the result of the end of the Napoleonic war and the massive debt accumulated by the Dutch colonial company that went bancrupt.
Johannes's goal? End the extreme poverty.
He came up with the idea of starting the colony of Benevolence in the area around Drenthe.
He'd bring poor families from Amsterdam there and give them a home in return for farming the land.
Not only that, the children also got free schooling, 90 years before it became universal all over the Netherlands. He also made the first steps in what today is seen as very normal: universal healthcare.
We learned about this at the Proefkolonie museum in Frederiksoord and by taking the electric Colony express which took us around the area and showed us the remaining houses and also how some of them are adapted to modern times.
Let us show you around in our vlog. ;-)

Did you know that the Northern most border of the former Roman empire runs straight through the Netherlands? It's called the 'Limes' and is recognized as UNESCO world heritage. We visited 3 places on that old border: The castellum car park in the town of Woerden where they found ancient Roman cargo ships.

We went on a UNESCO world heritage adventure in the Netherlands and de Beemster was our first stop. It's an area North of Amsterdam and it used to be part of the sea until in 1612 they drained the area and thus created new land to farm from. The produce helped to feed the growing city of Amsterdam. They drained the area with the help of windmills that were used as pumps. For the time a fenomena...

The most ingenious defense system that was never used: De #HollandseWaterlinies Throughout #TheNetherlands a system of dams, forts and waterlocks was build for protection. If enemy forces would attack, the Dutch would just open the floodgates and submerge the lands outside of the damms so enemy forces couldn't move so easily anymore, basically turning them into sitting ducks. #Utrecht was part ...

Helloo to you both 🙂🙂, lovely video and thanks for sharing your experience. What advice would you give to someone who's considering a visit to Tunisia, specifically to El Kef? I've been doing my own research but most of what I see online are based on the insecurity levels and how extra care should be taken by tourists...but from this video you guys seem to be having a nice time with the locals which is very encouraging and really good to see. Any advice? Thank you in advance.
Thats´very interesting!
