About Olivia De Ridder (Universiteit Antwerpen)
I’m a 23-year-old Heritage Studies student at the University of Antwerp, with a background in Language and Literature. To me, language is both a way of understanding heritage and heritage in its own right: rich in stories, cultural meanings and linguistic nuances. From this perspective, I want to contribute to passing on knowledge and culture across generations. That’s why I really enjoy engaging with both younger and older generations — it’s these moments of human connection and creative collaboration that inspire me most.
