And when we really go for it, we go for it together. <\/strong>\r\n\r\nRotterdam has attracted migrants from all over the world since time immemorial. These people came to our city to make their dreams come true and build a future for themselves. It is precisely this pioneering spirit that has made Rotterdam the vibrant and diverse World Port City that it is today; a city in which there is a place for everyone.\r\n\r\nRotterdam embraces more than 170 nationalities, and we are tremendously proud of that! This diversity of people, aspirations and dreams has enriched Rotterdam&#8217;s culture enormously. The city is tough, lively, creative and developing all the time. &#8220;,[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8221;]<div class=\"br-custom-youtube\" style=\"max-width:100%; margin: 20px 0; position: relative; aspect-ratio: 16\/9; background: #000; border-radius: 4px; overflow: hidden;\"><div style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; background: #1a1a1a; color: #fff; display: flex; flex-direction: column; align-items: center; justify-content: center; text-align: center; padding: 20px; box-sizing: border-box;\"><p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: sans-serif;\">Accepteer marketing cookies om deze video te bekijken.<\/p><button type=\"button\" data-action=\"show-consent-banner\" style=\"background: #ff0000; color: #fff; border: none; padding: 12px 24px; font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; border-radius: 4px; text-transform: uppercase;\">Cookie instellingen<\/button><\/div><script>\r\n            (function() {\r\n                var checkConsentAndReload = function() {\r\n                    if (document.cookie.indexOf('marketing') > -1) {\r\n                        window.location.reload();\r\n                    }\r\n                };\r\n\r\n                \/\/ 1.
