Alderman Klaas Harink welcomes two new Cittaslow participants
Today, Alderman Klaas Harink welcomed two new Cittaslow participants. Both contribute in their own way to a more beautiful, sustainable, and connected society.
Nijvertijd is an inspiring, sustainable place where there is room for creativity, encounters, and tranquility. With a nod to the building’s history and a contemporary interpretation of ‘time’, this location offers a space where everyone is welcome to create, start a business, or simply take a moment to reflect.
Caroline van de Burgt is also joining as a biodiversity ambassador. Through her commitment to the regional market, her involvement in the local community, and her food forest—which she aptly describes as an ‘edible paradise’—she actively contributes to strengthening biodiversity and raising awareness.
Two valuable initiatives that demonstrate how love for people, nature, and the environment come together in practice.
