Bik-certificat?
Primairy schools use artists for their creativity.
Because of their inheritance/background/talent and another view to the world surrounding them.
Therefore they deliver a welcome profound issue to education. Schools rather choose artists with experience and affinity with children. The aim is high for high end quality culture educative projects of artists.
Because of that BIK started out in 2002 and over more than 500 artists choose to do this course and are now educating on primairy schools.

Michael van der Meide creates many different supercreative workshops for kids from 4 to 20 in the field of fashion!

We are happy to be of service to you in the new year...

Dave van der Wal created the atmosphere at the concert through the story he never had the chance as a child to play a special role in christmas plays...playing a sheap, a crib, a tree or else...he dreamt of being an angel for ones.

His dream came true...

,,Together we thought of a modern angel and created a special christmas angel without wings in a white suit with bold silver and white shimmering christmas decorations''

,,Top that with some glimmering lights and Dave the modern angel was born...''
