The Dales Rooms are located in the Banning building. All rooms in Banning are named after former directors of the Kerk en Wereld Foundation (Church and World Foundation). This foundation purchased the De Horst Estate in 1946 and established the Dutch Academy for Public Education here, which later became the school for social work. Pupils lived on-site and received a church-based education focused on supporting the role of the church and community in post-war society.
Ien Dales completed the Church Work Training Programme in 1950. In 1968, she was appointed as the first female director of the Kerk en Wereld Foundation. She stepped down in 1974 but remained closely connected to the institute. The Banning building houses two identical rooms named Dales: Dales I and Dales II. Both rooms feature a private terrace and offer views of the forest.
The Dales Rooms are suitable for a variety of meetings and other (business) gatherings in a green environment. We’ll arrange the space entirely to suit your needs.
