Parkmen: A Collaborative Effort Driving Community Engagement   ADVIER is proud to be co-creator of Parkmen (parkmen.nl). Parkmen is a serious play on the well-known Pacman game and is an inspiring example of collaboration between residents and local government. During this engaging game, residents come together to discover what truly matters. Valuable conversations emerge around safety, health, mobility, and social interaction, through cheerful and interactive discussions about parking spaces, alternatives to parking on doorsteps, and redesign of public spaces. The game can be played by residents, residents' associations, and municipalities to clearly identify community needs, making it a versatile tool for participation across different domains. ADVIER and our partners are still evolving the game. Efforts are ongoing to translate the outcomes further into tangible improvements for neighbourhoods, ensuring residents can better experience the impacts and share their preferences. Using real-world cases, the aim is to foster better dialogue within the community. Let's keep the conversation going and build better, more connected communities together! #CommunityEngagement #LocalGovernment #UrbanDevelopment #SmartCities #PublicSpaces #NeighbourhoodImprovement Stimuleringsfonds Creatieve Industrie Luisiana P.

Since its inception, Urban Hikers has hosted 962 events, walked over 4,329 miles, and engaged 355 participants—an impressive 25.4% of our total members. What’s even more extraordinary? 89% of these events have been guided by a single, dedicated leader Vanny Mwamba. This remarkable effort demonstrates the transformative power of one committed individual—but imagine what could be achieved with greater support. With funding, Urban Hikers can amplify its impact by: • Expanding leadership to host more events, reaching even more community members. • Increasing accessibility to underserved groups, bringing the benefits of walking to all. • Strengthening infrastructure to enhance the walking experience, from innovative tools to community-driven initiatives. Your support will allow Urban Hikers to evolve from a grassroots movement into a scalable force for wellness, connection, and community transformation. Together, we can walk further, impact deeper, and connect stronger. #UrbanHikers #WalkingCulture #CommunityImpact #FundingForChange

Housing Solution Idea #1 for San Diego: Great long-term housing community in Austin, Texas by Mobile Loaves & Fishes called Community First! Village. This multifaceted housing community is something we should consider for SD county for our chronically homeless, especially those who have lived on the streets for many years and are over 55. Details about this Village: - 51 acre location - Helps Chronically Homeless; average age is 57 - 381 Mixed housing units – Recreation Vehicles(RVs), Tiny Homes (most without bathrooms or kitchens) - Shared outdoor kitchens, bathrooms with showers and laundry services - Library and Chapel - Metro Bus Stop on site to help with getting to other parts of Austin - Family Health Resource Center – Medical Clinic -Integrated physical and mental health care services - Micro enterprise opportunities for residents to earn a dignified income               - Car care business               - Art House               - Tiny Homes Vacation Rental               - Pottery Operation               - Groundskeeping, Janitorial Services               - Blacksmithing Shop               - Woodshop               - Community Market (brick and mortar & online)               - Community Cinema               - Barber Shop/Beauty Salon - Organic Farming Operations This is a thriving community, not just a shelter or a building with apartments. They've created a place where people build new lives through friendship, service to each other and the community through employment and more. Let's create something like this in San Diego so those living on the dirty streets of downtown, along highways and in their cars can have a place to call home. #sandiego #homelesssolutions

GreenSquareAccord plans to sell the home of Clair Southgate, a vicar who has served the community for 30 years. Clair, who relies on local support due to her epilepsy, is facing eviction after 20 years in her home. Despite the housing association's promises of assistance, their decision to prioritise financial over community well-being is a firm damnation of the mismanagement that had been allowed to continue since the disgraceful and failed merger. How many more residents at risk of losing their homes? Is this the next big scandal to rock the housing sector, build cheap, fail to maintain whilst exploiting residents through service charges, then sell off the dilapidated properties that have been allowed to fall into disrepair, is thsi really the GSA Way? https://lnkd.in/e-6zhrWu #GreenSquareAccord #Scandal #HousingCrisis #SellOffScandal #UKHousingIssues #DilapidatedHousing #TenantRights #HousingAssociationFail #AffordableHousingCrisis #HousingJustice #ProtectTenants #GreenSquareAccordIssues #CommunityNeglect #UKHousingDebate #StopTheSellOff #SaveOurHomes #HousingForAll #ScandalAlert #AccountabilityNow #HousingInjustice #TenantsDeserveBetter

There was a 43% reduction in spending on youth and community services between 2014 and 2021. Community hubs closed. E.g. 1,243 council-run youth centres across England and Wales were closed between 2010-23. So it's great to see a counter to this trend with the Brooklands Community Centre breaking ground to be a catalyst for community cohesion over the coming years ✨ Well done to everyone who's helped to get it to this stage https://lnkd.in/eMGr-Qb8

#HauntedTexasThemePark is a visionary project aimed at transforming #entertainment, #education, and #economicgrowth through an #innovative and #historically #accurate #themepark experience. As a female founder deeply rooted in #community and #culturalpreservation, my mission is to heal the hearts and minds of visitors by telling the #REAL, often overlooked stories of America's past in a way that fosters #empathy, #understanding, and #unity. Haunted Texas Theme Park goes #beyond traditional entertainment—it's a platform for #historicaleducation, #socialjustice #advocacy, #sustainability. MY passion for creating this park stems from collective life experiences. As someone who has faced immense personal and professional challenges, including homelessness and systemic barriers, I understand the power of storytelling in bringing people together and inspiring change. I had to ask myself one day, "Do I become a female version of #Dexter, or would "THAT" be letting them win?" So I chose to become She'ro instead. Haunted Texas Theme Park is my way of giving back to communities by creating jobs, supporting local businesses, creating affordable housing and fostering economic development in underserved areas where each entertainment complex will be built. It's designed to be a #selfsustaining #ecosystem that leverages cutting-edge technology, immersive attractions, and community engagement to preserve history while addressing systemic issues. By blending entertainment with purpose, Haunted Texas aims to become a global brand with a mission to educate through laughter, love, and connection. I can say I TRULY know, how resilient hearts are, how creative minds can be when solving the most complex issues and how committed my soul is to leaving this world slightly better when I'm gone.
