much was accomplished in Sint-Maartensdijk and… more is about to happen

Every now and then we look back and feel rather good about ourselves and our work. We still visit Sint-Maartensdijk because of the Tuus in Smerdiek initiative which was instigated during the EMPOWERCARE project. And it is quite something that has been accomplished in the village.

EMPOWERCARE final days and final report

After three years, the international part of the EMPOWERCARE project is coming to an end. Currently, we as a project team are busy with the final stages of that part of the project. This feels like a good time to tell you about some of the results and about the things we learned along the way and we would like to thank all parties involved.

everything fell into place during Smerdiek Zorgt

Smerdiek Zorgt. Where to start? Some days everything just falls into place and that was definitely what happened on 10 January during Smerdiek Zorgt regarding public interest, enthusiastic reactions and rounding of the EMPOWERCARE project as a whole.

on the social theory and how we work – an extensive talk with Petra and Hans

The Social Theory forms the basis for the Solidarity University’s work method. The theory can be found in all of the Solidarity University’s projects (in the nature of the projects but also in how these projects are approached). The fact that these projects are all about people and how they interact with one another and the fact that there is a lot of room for reflection and self-reflection as well as learning about learning … All that goes right back to the Social Theory.

photovoice method in practice

The Tuus in Smerdiek initiative works hard on connecting (the inhabitants of) the village of Sint- Maartensdijk. They now use the Photovoice method to see what connects people in the village.
