Wasven is committed to preserving its own living environment. Working together in nature creates synergy between the green and social domains. Participation in the community is central. During DDW we present our working method and put it into practice.
Greencafé lecture
Greencafé is a collaboration between Trefpunt Groen Eindhoven, the library Eindhoven, Art + Tech Society, Wasven and IVN.
In the lecture “Green in everything we do”, Alfred van Kempen, director of Wasven, talks about the development of Wasven over the past 25 years and explains the philosophy behind it. He shows what we can learn from this and apply it in our own life and work. The lecture is in Dutch.
About Wasven
Wasven is a nature reserve in the Tongelre district. The domain includes an estate forest with monumental trees, natural fields, heathland and fens. Wasven is also a social enterprise that manages and develops the domain from the Wasvenboerderij. The farm houses an organic restaurant, traditional bakery and coffee roaster and ecological market garden. In Wasven, skilled workers work together with volunteers and people with care needs. For and from our own living environment.
