Only 5 weeks left until the final deadline โณ โ€” so weโ€™d like to see you before the crunch time begins! ๐Ÿงจ

Weโ€™ll meet the neighbours, ๐Ÿค share all the latest updates ๐Ÿ“ฌ and suggest ways to get involved. ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™‚๏ธ All ages welcome! ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ

  • 12:00 โ€” regular meeting at NieuwLand ๐Ÿ’ป
  • 15:00 โ€” preparations for BBQ, help is welcome! ๐Ÿงบ
  • 16:00 โ€” BBQ at Archimedesplantsoen ๐ŸŒณ
  • 16:30 โ€” presentation to neighbours (in Dutch) ๐Ÿ“ฃ

In case the weather goes horribly wrong ๐ŸŒช (and you canโ€™t find us at the location), weโ€™ll be holding the BBQ and presentation in NieuwLand instead! โ˜”๏ธ

Bring all your good vibes! ๐Ÿ’†โ€โ™€๏ธโ€”dNM crew.

Last Saturday, we were around 20 people to celebrate the first victory. ๐ŸŽฏ
And we immediately started making plans for the next stage of dNM! ๐Ÿงฉ

If you couldnโ€™t attend and would like to catch up, three things:

  • Check out these slides ๐Ÿ“Š to get some ideas on what we presented.
  • Here is the detailed calendar ๐Ÿ“† for the coming period.
  • Tell us ๐Ÿ“ how much, when and how you can contribute!

To get involved, a few actions you can take:

  • For the upcoming 3 months, every Sunday is reserved at NieuwLand to build our community and to work on the application. Of course not everyone is expected to attend every meeting, workshop or presentation, but you are always welcome to the potluck โ˜•๏ธ brunch ๐Ÿฅ at ๐Ÿฅ‘ noon!
  • We want to build a larger follower base for our adventure. Please tell your friends about it and share the dNM Facebook page in your circles! We are especially looking for all kinds of financial wizardry: ๐Ÿง™โ€โ™‚๏ธ accountants, ๐Ÿฆธ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ fundraisers, ๐Ÿงžโ€โ™‚๏ธ crowdfunders ๐Ÿงšโ€โ™€๏ธ (not to mention rich relatives! ๐Ÿ‘ธ๐Ÿป) will be extremely helpful in the coming period.
  • Finally, please get back on Slack ๐Ÿ•น if youโ€™d like to get involved! We will reduce the frequency of newsletters and share weekly updates via Slack.

Archimedesplantsoen calling. dNM needs you!

First callout, 20 March 2018:

We are at the very early stages of what could become our next great adventure: co-creating sustainable, collective living for ourselves and loved ones. Concretely, we are interested in applying for a tender to develop a self-built, circular social housing โ€”right here, in Amsterdam Oost. Since this is wildly ambitious, we are aware we cannot do it alone: we need your wisdom, inspiration and perhaps even participation!
Could you take a few minutes to flex your network muscle? Think about who we should collaborate with, who may have the skills we need, or who is a great fit for the art of living we wish to create. Fundraisers, wordsmiths, inventors, facilitators, pirates โ€”we count on your magic of free association!
Feel free to share this callout in your circles, and drop us a line if youโ€™d like to follow future developments ๐Ÿ™‚
