Desycling Amsterdam strategy 2009: Desycle ‘at the table’ in Amsterdam New West

LSDP, the Desycle Foundation and the desycling coaches have been invited by Foundation Wilde Westen and Stedelijk in West to organize a desycling project for and with the neighbors of Geuzenveld-Slotermeer. The project took place in the location where Wilde Westen was executing “De kok, de kweker, zijn vrouw en hun buurman”, a project for het Stedelijk in West.

As a follow up of Desycling A’dam 08, LSDP organized a project in collaboration with the coaches in which we explored the habits and costumes of different cultures around the subject ‘Kitchens and Meals”. Around 50 people (children and adults) shared their cultural experiences and creative skills during the project’s activities.

The intensive collaboration resulted in specific products, like a large fruit bowl designed with recycled magazines and produced by a heterogeneous group of 40 people, plus concrete ideas which an enthusiastic group of women are willing to explore further and transform into further opportunities.

LSDP, in collaboration with the desycling coaches, and other organizations are searching for the resources to set up the development of these ideas into a business model which will benefit the personal development of the neighborhood women.
