Actionline 5: Exchange
We learn with and from other regions and cultures.
We exchange experiences with other regions in the Netherlands, Europe, and around the world. In this way, we learn what works and what does not, and we build a powerful movement for more life. We are part of several networks in which this exchange takes place. We cherish our relationships with regions elsewhere in the Netherlands and with regions in countries such as Spain, Ireland, Romania, Chile, Ghana, and Colombia.
Actions
Working Group for Resilient Agroecological Regions
This working group of the Agroecology Network connects and strengthens initiatives in the Netherlands that are working toward resilient and vibrant regions, using the principles of agroecology and decolonisation as their foundation. We are building a shared regional narrative for the Dutch Delta. Examples include Stroomgebied Zuid-Veluwe, de Friese Voedselbeweging en het poldermeergebied van Amsterdam. We werken hierin actief samen met Wageningen Research.
Landschapswerkplaats Oogst van Morgen
De Oogst van Morgen is an initiative of among others, Commonland en de Akademie van Plaats. In eight regions, we work together toward healthy nature, strong communities, and a future-proof economy, and we organise joint financing across regional boundaries.
Bioregional Weaving Labs Collective
The Bioregional Weaving Labs Collective is een Europees leernetwerk van gebiedsbewegingen in bijvoorbeeld Roemenië, Normandië, Spanje en Ierland. We hebben regelmatig online sessies om uit te wisselen en jaarlijks is er een bijeenkomst in een van de landen. We leren van elkaar hoe we gebieden en culturen kunnen herstellen en hoe dit gefinancierd kan worden via een zgn. Bioregional Finance Facility.
Weaving Territories
Together with the Living Cultures Foundation, we take part in exchanges with cultures and regions around the world. We learn a great deal from places and peoples with an adaptive capacity for resilience and ingenuity. We have built strong relationships with organisations in countries such as Ghana, Colombia, and Chile.
