De Middellander is one of the results of the co-creation program Mooi Mooier Middelland. It is a social enterprise. The focus is on social, green, health, economic value and sustainable development. Financial profits are reinvested in the neighborhood. The shareholders decide on this. This is what we do:
We develop, design and implement projects that contribute to a sustainable neighborhood. That's not only important for the quality of our living environment, but for health and well-being. Our neighbourhood-led approach to the energy transition and climate adaptation is through the perspective of future generations.
We develop, collaborate, initiate and implement projects that contribute to social quality, health, growing up safely, talent development and inclusive communities where everyone counts and can participate. We promote contacts between generations and work to increase opportunities for everyone.
Creativity not only contributes to problem solving; it also promotes encounters and community strength while contributing to self-direction, expression and personal development. People are challenged and a status quo is discussed. We need new forms, customs, rituals and methods to make decisions together and to join forces.
We experiment and contribute to research and development of social and technological innovations. The purpose is always to serve community goals and ambitions. We make data accessible and work on methods that enable citizens to own data themselves and use it for community development.
We promote learning and personal development. With our Academy for Citizenship, we contribute to the learning and development climate in Middelland and the skills development of Middellanders. From young to old. We transfer our knowledge and methods to other citizens, neighborhoods, networks, professionals and civil servants.
Community comes first. The starting point is our community of sub-communities.
Chances and opportunities for everyone and especially for people who have not participated for a long time.
Converting money and investing for a sustainable, resilient and healthy neighborhood where new value is reinvested in the community.
We value volunteering first, and work is fairly rewarded.
The enterprise is a human living organism in which the people who "produce" also formally own.
Protecting our ecological space, communities and health is the foundation of life. We manage the Earth for now and future generations.
Social, health and sustainability outcomes are the focus. Financial policy is aimed at achieving these goals. Control over important financial decisions is made by the people affected by them. Investors and partners fully endorse our values.
