Neighborhood idea: what do you do with it?

On Saturday, September 20th, the community development workers from Stimenz are organizing the inspirational morning " Neighborhood Idea, What Do You Do With It?" , a morning for all Apeldoorn residents who have ideas for their neighborhood or are looking for inspiration.

The morning consists of workshops packed with inspiration and practical tips. Expert Eelco Visser has seen many neighborhood ideas grow into successful initiatives. During his workshop, he'll guide you through the implementation of an idea and how to involve the rest of the neighborhood.

Many wonderful neighborhood initiatives have already sprung up in Apeldoorn, such as the pétanque club in Amaliapark, weekly coffee gatherings, and the meeting place in the 't Sluisje apartment building. Residents who have already launched initiatives will share their experiences with implementing a neighborhood idea. The community development workers at Stimenz will also explain the financing options for your neighborhood idea.

The second workshop, "Love and Leeds Streets," is led by community worker Inge van Dalen. In Love and Leeds Streets, residents pay extra attention to a neighbor when needed, during difficult times as well as happy ones. One or two neighbors, the "gangmakers," manage a fund that can be used to purchase small gifts. During the workshop, you'll discover if this is right for your neighborhood; perhaps you'll become the "gangmaker" of your street!

We'll conclude the morning with a chat and a delicious lunch provided by local resident Janny. In short: a fun morning full of inspiration and tips for your neighborhood (idea). The program runs from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM and takes place at Prins Willem-Alexanderlaan 1419 in Apeldoorn. Register here before Tuesday, September 16th. We hope to see you on September 20th!
