For the second time, E52 organises the annual Expat Top-10. There are a lot of internationals in Eindhoven who have done a great job for the city, and by this, we put a spotlight on them. This year’s theme of the Top-10 is ‘Sport & Leisure’. Every day we present you an interview with one of the winners. In this interview, you can read about how they ended up in Eindhoven, how they put an effort in the city and how they look at the Eindhoven with their international perspective. Today: Cristian Boscheri.<\/p>\n
Cristian<\/strong> Boscheri<\/strong> Bboy, breaker or breakdancer, Cristian Boscheri is it for already more than twelve years. With the projects from wedowe<\/em>, which can also consist of breakdancing, he tries to change the world. So that he can solve what in his opinion is the world\u2019s biggest problem: communication.<\/p>\n \u201cI got a map of Europe and started to draw X\u2019s on it where I didn\u2019t want to go to, actually I drew a lot of X\u2019s\u201d \u201cI started with my study because I thought the biggest problem in the world was the energy problem, now I think it\u2019s communication\u201d Boscheri started this wedowe<\/em>\u00a0to activate people to make to world a better place. He does that with projects which have a measurable social impact, these are called dowe<\/em>s. \u201cEveryone is uncomfortable with something. It can be climate changes or the problem of communication but everyone has such a thing. And I\u2019d like to activate people to change their uncomfortability.\u201d Dowe<\/em>s can vary from events, to films, to campaigns, as long as it changes the world around people. Pimp my Clothing<\/em> is an example of a dowe<\/em>, where people were inspired to fix their damaged clothing instead of throwing it away. Shiro <\/em>is a movie to show talent of the Dutch movie industry. Or wedoENERGY Map, which is a tool to help students\/organizations in doing energy activities. \u2018\u2019The logic is quite simple, everybody could spend some energy to make the world a better place. That\u2019s why I would like that really everybody on the planet would start a dowe<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBreakdancing doesn\u2019t care about race or ethnicity, it doesn\u2019t know any racism.\u201dCristian Boscheri, – Winner of Expat Top-10<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u2018\u2019There is a shit load of social value in breakdancing\u2019\u2019 \u201cEindhoven is a city of do-ers\u201d For the second time, E52 organises the annual Expat Top-10.

\nBorn in 1990<\/strong>
\nFrom Arese, Italy<\/strong>
\nIn Eindhoven since 2012<\/strong>
\n#1 on bucket list: \u201cInaugurating my own school\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nAfter his bachelor in Energy Engineering Boscheri wanted to go abroad for a master\u2019s degree. \u201cI wanted to study renewable or sustainable energy but in Italy there was no such thing. So I went searching where in Europe I could go to.\u201d Through a friend of his brother, Boscheri heard about Eindhoven and what was possible over there. \u201cThe TU\/e had a program where I could choose exactly the subjects that I wanted. Besides that I found out that the Netherlands have a great breaking culture. Especially the region of Eindhoven is well known for this sport.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nBoscheri worked for one year in a lab. \u201cI know I was making a difference and helping the world with my work in sustainable energy. But I didn\u2019t feel it, because it\u2019s not so direct. I\u2019m an extremely visual person, and when you work with people you feel more that you really make a difference.\u201d So in 2015 Boscheri went to Brazil for three weeks. There he took part in a social breakdance project. \u201cI already practiced breakdancing for twelve years. First it was just a hobby but since then not anymore. I really saw that breaking could help people, for example, to get more self-esteem. After that I started wedowe<\/em>, to solve what I thought was the new biggest world problem: communication.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nBosheri practices breakdancing five to six days a week. Most of the times with friends, sometimes alone. \u201cYou know the term breakdancing wasn\u2019t the original term. Actually it was called breaking or Bboying. But it all started in the U.S.A. and the journalists who wrote about it didn\u2019t like those terms.\u201d Boscheri also organises breakdance dowe<\/em>s. \u201cIt\u2019s simple, you get together and there is no judging. That\u2019s the case with breakdancing and I think with any other sport. So if I would get a billion euro\u2019s I would organise a shit load of events. Which could be about sport or other things but with the goal to kill hate.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u201cEindhoven has so much potential. If you have ideas, here is where you can make it happen. Besides that it\u2019s a very international city, you see a lot of colour together.\u201d But Boscheri thinks the different communities aren\u2019t connected enough. \u201cThere could be more collaboration between networks. But to reach that, we need to overstep our egos. A lot of organisations tell us that they want to collaborate but when it really comes to it, they don\u2019t want to overstep their egos and don\u2019t collaborate at all.\u201d But still, Boscheri believes that Dutch people are more equal than in Italy. \u201cPeople are more equal and approachable. Only not when it comes to personal space. You are not so touchable.\u201d Further on he believes that there aren\u2019t many differences. \u201cPerhaps the classic stuff like weather and food. You don\u2019t use pesto only for pasta and you guys put stuff on pizza that is forbidden in Italy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
