In this episode of Good Place, we sit down on a blue bench with Jakob Hurrle, the councillor for Prague 7.

In a city of 57 different districts, we explore how care, community, and inclusion can be built into everyday urban life.

From social policy and accessible services to integration, housing, and public space, Jakob shares how local government can actively strengthen belonging — and why neighbourhood-level action matters more than ever in growing cities.

This time, I shared a bench with Laura and Tetyana, both colleagues at Volunteer The Hague. It was supposed to be the final episode of 2025, but we're making it the first of 2026 :)

Listen to these passionate souls for helping others feel at home in the city of The Hague through volunteering.

Both moved here from abroad, so they know what it takes to connect with new people and to start all over. Thank you Laura and Tetyana, it's been wonderful, we should all volunteer and contribute to our city.

We connected some months ago, when Bianca asked me: can I send you my book?

Although I didn't know what it was about, I was amazed when I received the copy. it covered the topics that we care about on this channel: belonging, identity, and connection.

It was my absolute pleasure to invite Bianca for a conversation on a bench, to discuss her book and share the topics we care about so much.
