Collective Nouns Foundation is developing ‘De Voorkamer’ in Utrecht.
‘De Voorkamer’ (The Living Room) is a social initiative introducing a design method wishing to create a new environment for asylum seekers and locals to meet. The project’s aim is to provide opportunities for asylum seekers to integrate in the local society. ‘De Voorkamer’ intends to do so by encouraging the asylum seekers to use their individual skills and talents to create and build ‘De Voorkamer’s space. The space is located in a central spot near the refugee center in Utrecht. The team’s activities generate involvement, confidence and pride in their identity and origin. Together they form a communal space that promotes better relationships with their Dutch neighbours.
