Provincial councillors visit Ede for discussion evening
Residents of Ede and surrounding areas who wish to engage in conversation with provincial politicians can do so on Wednesday evening, 22 April 2026. On this date, our Provincial Councillors will host the discussion evening ‘Provincial Councillors take to the streets’. You decide what’s on the agenda.
Close to home discussions
There are various ways to engage with provincial politics, but residents often have to travel to the House of the Province in Arnhem for these opportunities. With ‘Provincial Councillors take to the streets’, you can discuss matters close to home with Provincial Councillors. This initiative has previously taken place in Doetinchem, Harderwijk, Zutphen, and Geldermalsen. The next stop is Ede on Wednesday, 22 April.
‘Speed dating’ with provincial and local politicians
Residents will engage in one-on-one conversations with politicians. The province collaborates closely with municipalities, which is why you can discuss topics with both our Gelderland Provincial Councillors and Ede municipal councillors. The subject is entirely up to you. Each participant brings their own opinions, concerns, or ideas. The only requirement for discussion topics is that they relate to matters within the province’s jurisdiction.
Accessible contact
The discussion evening offers a valuable and accessible way to connect with elected representatives. “I left the room with more confidence in politics. In the discussions, I noticed that the politicians were truly there for me,” says a participant from the Doetinchem edition. A resident from Harderwijk adds: “What a lively and accessible evening. It was great to be able to share my story.”
