Broos Institute is an Amsterdam-based, mission driven nonprofit organization, founded in 2021 by journalist and educator, Marvin Hokstam.
Hokstam is founder and chief editor of Afro Magazine, the only media platform in the Netherlands dedicated to telling the underreported stories of the Africana Communities in the country. Hokstam’s current research and writing examines themes of African and Afro-Caribbean resistance, legacy, and continuity, including his ancestral connection to one of Suriname’s venerated Maroon leaders, Broos, who the foundation is named after.

Broos Institute is introducing Afrocentric experience into mainstream European education, thereby offering people of African descent a study environment that recognizes, respects and encourages their unique Afro-European perspective. At our institute, people of all other backgrounds, ethnicities and walks of life can now be enriched through education from a decolonized perspective.
We believe that education is the most important tool in all of our endeavours to create a future society, where inclusion and diversity are no longer mere buzzwords.
