TRIALOG was deeply saddened to learn of the sudden death on 16 May 2008 of Wico Bunskoek, Director of Kontakt der Kontinenten, Netherlands. He had been working with his organisation since 1971 and was director for 22 years, dedicating himself completely to the organisation.
Wico was also a long-standing and active member of the CONCORD Working Group on Enlargement, Pre-Accession and Neighbourhood (EPAN), which is convened by TRIALOG. The Chair and convenor sent a message of condolence on behalf of the group, as his presence at meetings will be greatly missed .
Th.E.M. Wijte wrote on the Kontakt der Kontinenten’s website that Wico ‘represented values like respect, dialogue between different cultures and religions, internationalisation and above else, he stood for hospitality.’ Wico was 61 years old.
The thoughts of the TRIALOG team are with Wico’s family, friends and colleagues at this difficult time. Messages of condolence may be send to condoleance@kontaktderkontinenten.nl
