Mienskip

We make Arcadia together. Not behind closed doors, but right in the middle of society. With residents, makers, volunteers, schools, associations, entrepreneurs, and everyone who wants to get something moving. From a first idea at the kitchen table to a project that gets a whole neighbourhood involved: the mienskip (community) is the beating heart of Arcadia. This is where encounters, collaborations, and initiatives emerge that connect people and make Fryslân a little more beautiful.

On this page you will find stories, projects, calls and developments from the mienskip. From residents making their surroundings greener to makers telling a new story together with a village. Because the best plans rarely happen alone, but together.

Want it is mei sizzen net te dwaan (talk alone won’t get it done).
