Meet the DEAL Community

Sneek

Dorine van den Beukel - Nieuw Nijver (New Industrious) / Pleed The last decade Dorine has been actively involved in community building on diverse themes: textiles, sourcing of transition materials, mobility and local food connections. Working on her book about the need for knowledge of long gone local materials, as well as the production and use of those materials, she has created new craft networks such as Pleed — promoting the production and use of local wool in The Netherlands. Nieuw Nijver is in search of what defines a local shop and what can be used to create a sustainable, community-based and future-proof shop. www.nieuwnijver.nl / www.pleed.nl All sustainable transitions — whether they are food, energy or social transitions — benefit from good things close by. Good things close by are the basis of the new economy. Our new economy starts here.
