Schnap & Snap - De Supermarkt van Levenslessen

Loes Nijboer is a creator, youth coach, ‘expert by experience’ and author. But above all, she is on a full-time quest for wisdom. She collects life lessons she’s stumbled upon and turns them into work that is honest, vulnerable and relatable, all delivered with a touch of humour.

In recent years, she has written the autobiographical books *Ik Weet Het Allemaal Even Niet* and *Tussen Licht & Donker*, co-created the podcast *Levenspraat* with Sanne Plaatsman, and delivered guest lectures in which she invited young people to embrace the idea of not knowing how life works for a while.

All the while, she has been building a platform for other people’s stories. Because, as she says: “we are all a premium brand”. She believes that everyone has experiences and life wisdom, and that we can learn about life from one another.

With her latest installation and accompanying methodology, “Schap & Snap – the Supermarket of Life Lessons”, she is literally building a platform to discover and share life wisdom. The Supermarket of Life Lessons is an ode to bananas, beans, bottles of wine and… yes, life lessons. Will you come and shop, or share? Invest in wisdom – at least that won’t go off!
