Loesje was born in Arnhem, the Netherlands, November 24th, 1983 at 6:40 p.m. and her birth was announced by posters on the streets. Together with a group of nine friends she started her energetic life as postergirl on the streets of Arnhem. The purpose was to develope a new initiative to escape from the continuing downward spirale of the critical political movements of that time. Loesje signs the texts with her own name, to make them more personal, to reflect the clearness and simplicity of the ideas.
By 25 years several dozen Loesje groups of various profile were created in many countries building up a network in Europe, Africa, America and Asia. Some groups are more involved in social matters while others – in culture and art. The flexibilty of Loesje basic ideas let to define the profil of each group and choose the actoins depending on local conditions as well as the number of members of a group.
Activities undertaken by Loesje are to stimulate reflexion as well as creative and constructive thinking and make people realise possibilities of influeancing on their closest surrounding.
