CDA senator Maria Martens wrote a page for Seasons of Life last year and is therefore a symbolic precursor of our route: every pilgrim who walks the Walk of Wisdom can write a page for future publications.

Maria Martens is an experienced director, including as chairman of development organisation Simavi. Since 2011 she has been a member of the Senate for the CDA. Before that, she was a member of the European Parliament, where she was named ‘MEP of the Year’ by civil society organisations in 2008. She is seen as a modest, but resolute and committed woman who is not afraid to express her own vision while always respecting the opinion of others. In doing so, she expresses the core values of our route in her own way and we are happy with her support.
