List KUMU Facebook post Stanly, resident of Victoriapark Lightning Freek, Holland2Stay Monique *No time to read the whole blog? scroll down to the conclusion for the most striking insights* LIST Yesterday we created a list where people can leave their telephone number or email address. We have given this list, among others, to the TAC and ZwartWit; they both indicated they would like to think about who else we could approach in the neighborhood. Even though we don't know if we will approach people this way, it's always worth a try. In addition, we will also give this list to other possible organizations when we have a conversation with them.   KUMU We use the tool KUMU to map the stakeholders. At the moment we have chosen to only include the stakeholders that we have personally spoken to. We have an Excel sheet created (can be seen in the blog of 16-11-2020) of almost all stakeholders in the area, but at the moment we find it more valuable to look at the direct input we receiv...

18-11-2020 // HERE WE GO AGAIN

Temporary Art Centre Inge, resident of De Graaf Maurice Christian, resident of De Jonkheer *No time to read the whole blog? scroll down to the conclusion for the most striking insights* TEMPORARY ART CENTER Yesterday we spoke with Davy, the one responsible for the communication of the Temporary Art Centre. The TAC gives promising makers from all disciplines the opportunity to develop and show themselves. Normally, the TAC hosts a program that highlights different corners of the cultural spectrum every month. The TAC is located on the edge of the Emmasingelkwadrant. Nevertheless, we decided to contact TAC as one of the first four stakeholders in this neighborhood. Not only because we think the TAC has a large network, but also because the TAC is part of the developments that will take place. Precisely because the TAC will be partly demolished and new (large) buildings will be built right next to the TAC, we were very curious how Davy feels about the developments and how he thinks about...

CD LAB Presentation CD LAB Today we had our supervised lab with Jacco. This was the first time that we had no concrete questions for the group; our process is going well, we are still in the discovery phase in which we are trying to speak to various stakeholders from the Emmasingelkwadrant. That is why we mainly updated the others about our project and summarize our findings till now. We tried to help fellow students by sharing our input and insights. PRESENTATION Our supervisor Monique will be on maternity leave from December 4. That is why we have decided together with Monique to update all involved within the municipality on December 3 by means of a presentation about our process. The two of us have already brainstormed a bit about the content of the presentation. One of the tools that seem well-structured and clearly understandable to us, is a timeline. We will create a timeline from when we started to now. In the intermediate steps, we will discuss our most important and striking ...

16-11-2020 // FEEDBACK LYNN

We asked Lynn if she could have a look at our blogs, in particular the blog in which we reflect on the first month and the blog where we worked out the challenge the challenge. Lynn gave us valuable and useful feedback where we want to reflect on. We will reflect on the most important feedback points. Feedback challenge the challenge - I REALLY like how you elaborate on the state/market/community model by explaining your project as well. This makes it very accessible for me, someone who is not involved with the project, to understand both the model and your process. - Good that you use subtitles (in bold), this makes it easier to read. Still, I do think it is a LOT of text, perhaps it is an idea to join the English lab once in a while, to see whether you can shorten the text, where possible. and in general, be more direct . After the first time Lynn gave extensive feedback on our work, we made sure to use more subtitles in our blogs. We are therefore pleased to hear that there is an im...

12-11-2020 // HERE WE GO

Approaching stakeholders in the Emmasingelkwadrant  Meeting with Monique We were ready to start engaging with the locals, starting with the entrepreneurs we thought would have already established some kind of social relationships with inhabitants. Starting with a coffee place, ZwartWit, we gained insights into what energy already lives in the area. Just like we had hoped, the staff was able to connect us to even more potential stakeholders. Underneath we will elaborate on the insights we have gained per individual conversation, ending the text with insights in trends we have gained from the conversations overall. *No time to read the whole blog? scroll down to striking information and the conclusion * MOBILE INTERVIEWING Wednesday 11 November, we went to the Emmasingelkwadrant. At the end of the morning, we had an appointment with Jenko, the manager of ZwartWit. As we indicated in our previous blog, we have not created a list of stated questions to ask. It is not crucial to have t...
