Gathering in Muizen

Gathering in Muizen

How do we build the square together?

Can all voices be present?

How do we want to live together democratically?

How do we engage in dialogue?

Can all voices of Muizen be heard?

Do things like the square also have a voice?

How do we make the square together?

How do we build the square together?

we are now going to start with the first part

it's actually a referendum

about the square we're sitting on now

the idea is that later we vote on the proposals

so you got the program

you see there is a band at the top

and that you, every page has a color

and actually you see those colors here as well

from yes to no

yes?

so it's actually kind of gradual voting

but that will become clear later

I think we can just start by watching the first video

hello, I'm Kris Mys

with our archituctural office, by now 15 years ago

we renovated the dorpshuis and built the square

we set up the zocalo

an idea from Mexico, where not only in Mexico city

but also in small towns, small villages even

there's always such a zocalo, something like, a pedestal in Dutch

so a base

to say, this where public life, community life

social dynamics have their place

we had hoped that the school and the classes and the children

would make use of that

then there was the red cross

then there were studio's over there
