Neighborhood walk / Village tour: What motivates involved residents and what do they need?

Are you making policy and do you want to know if 'the citizen' can handle it? What he/she encounters during the daily tacking through the jungle of policy, rules, regulations, subsidy schemes and so on?


During the Neighbourhood Walk/Village Tour you will come into contact with active residents in your area for which you are creating your policy. Visit them and talk to the key figures and members of their group. What are they concerned with? What are they doing? and What do they encounter? Look through the eyes of residents and discover how they experience their neighbourhood, district, city, village and/or region and what areas for improvement they see. What rules do they encounter and why? Residents are often experts by experience. They want to help others from their hearts to prevent problems that they themselves have struggled with for years. That is why what they do often does not fit within the policy because what they do goes across many different policy areas.... We speak a different language... but often want the same thing: to encourage residents to leave the house, reduce feelings of social loneliness, alleviate poverty, make the energy transition accessible to everyone and not just to people who can afford it themselves or ....... citizens are committed in many areas to make their world and that of their fellow residents a little better. Everyone does this in their own way and for a specific target group.


But is that gap really that big? Come and see and investigate... we'd love to tell you more. Art d'Eko Events works demand-driven, so if you want input on a specific topic, we'll organize it for you.


We go on a voyage of discovery in the chosen area. At the various citizen initiatives we are ready to receive you, after which the initiator tells you how the organization came into being, what goals they pursue, in what way and what problems they tackle in their neighborhood, district, city district, city, village and/or region. Not because they have to, but because they see that it is necessary. They often 'just put their shoulders to the wheel themselves' because they saw that it is necessary. The perseverance with which the initiators push through and continue to believe in the goal and the path to get there is very inspiring.


Be inspired because together we make our city, village and region unique!


Want to know more? Feel free to contact us. We can put together a suitable tour for every neighbourhood, district, city, village and region, matching your field of expertise and (research) question.


The aim of these meetings is for policy makers and residents to work together to achieve the goal. We need each other!
