Work

In our projects we design concrete yet bold solutions that are vehicles for social change. We work in a wide range of domains, from mental health to restoring biodiversity and everything in between.

Currently working on

Some of the projects we are working on right now.

GEM

With GEM (ecosystem mentale gezondheid – mental health ecosystem) we are setting up a new way of organising mental healthcare: centralising the patient perspective and promoting collaborations between healthcare providers and social players. Initiatives are taking root throughout the Netherlands – from Deventer to Amsterdam and from Harderwijk to Doetinchem.

Reframing Welfare

To ensure a healthy and fair future in the metropole region Amsterdam, for this generation, for future generations and for ecosystems, Amsterdam Economic Board aims to reframe our current view on welfare. Therefore, we developed a new perspective on prosperity and quality of life together with a group of 25 stakeholders. The result is an overview of nine challenges that will help strengthen quality of life in the region and can spark new ways of collaborating. Currently, we are investigating what this can mean for the theme ‘health and prevention’.

Future of parenting

Commissioned by the Bondgenoten we explored the future of parenting and growing up in the Rijnmond Region of 2030. Based on this exploration, the Bondgenoten defined their joint ambitions. With the Garage 2020 and the Bondgenoten as our partners, we are now working on their ambitions and shaping the future of raising and growing up, through concept development, prototyping and user evaluations. After working on a play free state (in collaboration with Villa Zebra), to enhance free play, we are now dreaming about the future of inclusive education (in collaboration with Cult North). Our last project in this series is about designing the equal dialogue between youth that got stuck in life and their (formal and informal) caretakers.

Redesigning relapse

In this project, funded by the Agis innovatiefonds, we are exploring how adolescents struggling with addiction can be supported. In this new perspective we shift the focus from preventing relapse to strengthening the resilience of youngsters and their social network to deal with the ups and downs that are part of the journey to recovery. This project is done in collaboration with Brijder Jeugd.

What will our dairy farm of the future look like?

In today's fast-paced world, fewer and fewer people know the origin of their food. Food travels an average of 30.000 kilometers before it ends up on our plates. And that while the Netherlands largely consists of agricultural lands. Over the years, farmers have started to produce on a larger scale, with cost efficiency becoming increasingly important. We are now seeing a decline in biodiversity, the impoverishment of agricultural land, but also an increasing need for recreation in nature. The Dutch production machine will thus be faced with a major, complex transition.

Challenge

What happens if you would be able to 'erase' a tiny bit of the existing food system that also prevents change? What will the dairy farm of the future look like? These questions formed the starting point for a conversation between Courage and Reframing Studio. The project started when a dairy farmer (Christian and Sanne Klein Koerkamp) and a piece of land (the 'Linderveld' near Deventer), with IJssellandschap as a potential owner, presented itself. Together we started a journey to explore possible futures.

Project kick-off at 'hetLinderveld', north of Deventer.

Process

How is the life of residents in surrounding neighborhoods changing towards 2030? And how is our relation to food and nature developing? By doing research we learned more about this future context, resulting in a framework containing eight different future behaviours of people in relation to food (production) and their local landscape. This made it possible for Christian and Sanne to choose a behaviour they want to address as farmers in the future. From there, we started concepting and translated their mission into a concept named 'Heerlijkheid Linde'. With ‘Heerlijkheid Linde’, Sanne and Christian want to create a resting point in the busy and hurried lives of local residents. It is a place with attention for people, food, nature and the region.

What could grow on a plot of land is for instance determined by the type of soil or height of the land. To explore the possibilities together, we made a puzzle of ‘het Linderveld’.

The heart of 'Heerlijkheid Linde'

First 'Vrij Leven Stal' in the Netherlands

Developments

Christian and Sanne are busy making ‘Heerlijkheid Linde’ a reality. They run the organic dairy farm and also provide an attractive landscape with high natural value. Products from the land are sold directly to the inhabitants of Deventer, ‘de Vijfhoek’ and the surrounding villages. The ‘Vrij Leven Stal’ in the Netherlands is now located on the Linderveld. Cows determine their own rhythm and always have access to the pasture. Because ‘Heerlijkheid Linde’ is also about the encounter between consumer and producer, these worlds are brought together in the heart of the area. It is a lively place where milk and ice cream are made, and where visitors come to meet, relax and experience the rhythms of the farmer, cows, nature and seasons.
