Citizen groups with ideas for a greener and more inclusive city can sign up for the 'Vooruit met de Wijk' call for projects. This initiative, focused on the Brussels-Capital Region, invites projects addressing themes such as food, reuse, composting, and biodiversity.
The call for projects offers support to citizen groups aiming to improve the quality of life and ecological transition in neighborhoods. Projects must align with themes like waste reduction, reuse, food, nature, and biodiversity.
Financial support ranges from €3,500 to €15,000. Participants also receive personalized guidance from experienced coaches, access to training on project management and team actions, a library of practical tools, and a network of like-minded citizens.
To be eligible, projects must take place in the Brussels-Capital Region, be led by at least five residents, and have the necessary permissions for land use. Further details are available on the webpage 'Make your neighborhood sustainable together with your neighbors'.
Participation is straightforward: join forces with neighbors and submit your idea via the contact details. Leefmilieu Brussel will assist with project setup and application for one of the two annual juries. Upcoming jury dates are listed on the project call's website.
