After 6 years of negotiations, we now have the chance to purchase an old school building in the Pieter Nieuwlandstraat. Here, an active group of people will establish a space for living, working, and a social/political neighbourhood centre. There are many ways you could get involved and bring in your interests - become a member, participate in the working groups, donate or invest. Or, if you'd like to know more first, come by our weekly info evening.
The building
Pieter Nieuwlandstraat 93/95 is a school building from the late nineteenth-century, and a municipal monument. The building consists of 2 wings and is 3 floors high. Altogether it has 1.155 square meters and another 130 square meters back yard.
The building has approximately the same age as the Dapperbuurt neighbourhood itself. In the direct surrounding it's one of the few original buildings left.

The future...

The building will offer space to a living group of eleven people, a social/political/ public space and some office or workshop spaces.
The members of the living space will play an active role in the public space and cooperate with other volunteers and enthusiasts around the PN project.
With the public space we are aiming to create a horizontally organised place where residents, neighbours, and other involved people feel comfortable to take initiative and to bring in their ideas.
Creating a sphere of respect is essential for the day to day running of the space but also for working on the future vision.
We are encouraging you to get involved, to become a member and/or to support the project financially.
