Join the dialogue tables in Waalre: together we determine the future of our community
Participation: everyone is talking about it, but how do we truly shape it in Waalre? We want to find out together with you. A group of enthusiastic initiators and the municipality are eager to engage in conversation with residents about the interplay between residents and the municipality. What can and do residents want to take on themselves? When is support from the municipality desirable? And when is the ball actually in the municipality's court?
From small groups to the big picture
During the dialogue table sessions, you can discuss this at tables of five participants. An experienced facilitator ensures that everyone has a chance to be heard. We deliberately seek a mix of perspectives: young and old, newcomers and long-time residents, entrepreneurs, volunteers, and engaged residents. Every voice matters.
Safe and anonymous use of AI
To carefully document and learn from the conversations, we use modern AI technology. This is fully anonymous, secure, and only used with your consent.
From insights to actions
The key outcomes will be presented on Saturday, May 9, during a meetup at Huis van Waalre. Here, initiators, municipal officials, and council members will discuss with residents what these insights mean for the upcoming administrative period. What steps can we take together to strengthen our collaboration? Your input is essential in this process.
