Bi-monthly neighborhood sessions with 30+ partners, quarterly talks with district management and structural alignment with the city, Democratisation team and Stichting !WOON for quick follow-up.
Our mission
An active, inclusive neighborhood that cares for one another.
We connect residents, support initiatives and keep talking with the municipality so every plan for Gein starts with what locals find important. Our mindset is proactive connection: listen, initiate and make space for different perspectives.
