Desire presents: ''Neighbourhood agency, Ownership & Passion” in Wildemanbuurt, Amsterdam

/

date:  06/05/2024

Wildemanbuurt in Amsterdam is a neighbourhood often depicted negatively. However, inhabitants are determined to change this narrative and Desire project supports them in their endavours. The work Wildemanbuurt started with a workshop where everyone was invited to share their dreams, and after that meeting, four citizen Design and Do groups were formed. For example, a neighbourhood economy group is trying to establish a local coffee roaster as a social enterprise.
