De Nieuwe Wereld is an online platform and a YouTube channel, founded by philosopher Ad Verbrugge and journalist Paul van Liempt.

The New World has the motto In-depth conversations in a time of change. They want to give a voice to people from various disciplines—entrepreneurs, intellectuals, scientists—about major changes in the economy and society. In May, Marianne Driessen and Sybilla Claus, both authors of 'Gender Rebels', were guests of Jelle van Baardewijk. He is a lecturer in business ethics, and a father. We learned about men; hopefully, Jelle learned something about girls and women.

It's funny that many viewers in the comment section – and Jelle himself – keep bringing up boys' problems. That is certainly worth a book, and we will read it with attention. Go guys!
