The original, handmade DollsVilla by
Liliane® from 1997/1998, a design by
Liliane Limpens, becomes part of the
permanent museum collection of the
fairy-tale Museum Children's World [1969] in
Roden, near Groningen in the north of
the Netherlands. The museum has an
impressive collection of old dolls and
bears. Children can actively play [together]
in the museum café with a second one, a
new DollsVilla from the 2019 production
series.
Museum
curator Mara Bosboom: "This way the
children can see the
development of a prototype into its
final market shape."
In 1969 the Dutch Museum Children's
World Foundation in Roden was founded by
the Association for Tourist Traffic and
the Association of Folk Entertainment.
At the same time, in this year an appeal
was made via the ANP to the Dutch
population to look at toys from the past
in the attic. This call was met with
mass response and it was the start of a
unique collection. Two foundations
currently manage the Children's World
Toy Museum: Dutch Museum Children's
World Foundation and Foundation for
preserving the Museum Children's World
Collection.
Children's World Museum offers guided
tours, a senior package, a package for children's parties and school trips.
Teaching material will soon be available, which will enable primary schools
to achieve official learning objectives.

DOLLSVILLA BY LILIANE® TO
CANADA:
WATERLOO
AND TORONTO
DollsVilla Global BV
| Liliane Limpens is
[the only female-entrepreneur] participant of the Dutch trademission to Canada, from June 18 till
25, 2019 'High Tech in a context of Health: Rehabilitation &
Smart Aging'. This delegation consists of
28 Dutch entrepreneurs, CEO’s, CTO’s,
researchers and medical doctors working
in the sectors Life Sciences & Health,
High Tech Systems & Materials and IT.
Focus on the introduction of the
DollsVilla by Liliane® in Canadian children's hospitals
and for the purpose of child
rehabilitation.
"Liliane is a successful Dutch
entrepreneur who has introduced a
sustainable, high-quality, fully
certified 'DollsVilla' that is mainly
used by hospitals, rehabilitation
centers, (daycare) homes for children
and children's homes, so that
psychologists and psychiatrists can playfully
observe children to quickly find out their
traumatic experiences. Moreover, this
way of working is very child-friendly."
"For example, Liliane would like an
introduction to the Hospital of Sick
Children in Toronto - alongside all
other introductions and the program of
this trip that are already on the
program."
"If Liliane is successful in Canada with
and after this introductory journey into
the world of "health" after all
encounters, it is not excluded that she
will open a North American office in
Canada for DollsVilla!"
The
Dutch trademission to Canada is organized by Oost NL
in collaboration with Roessingh R&D
Rehabilitation, Sint Maartens clinic for
Rehabilitation and the University of
Twente.
"We must learn to be protectors of
nature and appreciate everything that it provides us. It is
important for young children to be around natural materials, to be
able to touch, feel, smell and interact with their unblemished
nature."
"I am passionate about introducing children to the wonders of
wood through play as this interaction contributes to an awareness of
sustainability at a young age. Children are capable of developing a
real connection with the products of this earth and we need to
encourage that as much as possible for our Planet to thrive."
The DollsVilla by Liliane is a sustainable dolls house, built at a
child's height. Made of FSC birch plywood, beech and stainless
steel. FSC standards have been developed to protect the forests'
biodiversity and ecological processes.
Made With Respect has been created with a purpose: All
the brands fall within our 4 pillars and align with one or more of the
following values. MWR is a positive movement, where buying conscious brands
is the norm. For a sustainable future for our people on our planet.

|
by editor Remko
Ebbers
Remko Ebbers: "You wouldn't say it, but
you can conquer the world with doll
houses. Or at least try it, Liliane
Limpens shows. She likes to go along
with trade missions. "More effective
than trade fairs and I like them better.”
Part 1 in the new Forum series “The
Trade Missionary.”
"As a
young girl, Liliane Limpens already knew
that she would avoid the business world.
Although both her grandfathers had
become wealthy in the grain trade, she
learned from her father - who was an
employee - that you should always be on
your guard in matters. Yet she has set
up her own company, DollsVilla Global.
And now Limpens sells DollsVilla's all
over the world."

50% discount for women | Dutch Ministry of Economic
Affairs
Women in the Netherlands are
relatively less
active internationally than men and they
are less involved in trade missions. Less then 10% of the participants in trade
missions are women. And only 25% of the internationally active entrepreneurs are
women. And that while a third of all Dutch women is entrepreneur.
To change this the Ministry of Economic Affairs offered 50% discount to all
female participants in trade missions. Offer valid until March 8, 2017.
