Verenigingen, culturele initiatieven en buurten zijn plekken waar mensen elkaar echt leren kennen en polarisatie kan worden doorbroken. Als raadslid wil ik me inzetten voor een gemeente die samenleven actief ondersteunt: door ruimte te geven aan verenigingen, ontmoeting mogelijk te maken en verbinding tussen mensen te versterken. Zo bouwen we aan een stad waar verschillen mogen bestaan, maar waar we elkaar niet uit het oog verliezen.\t<\/p>\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t  <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div\n  id=\"\"\n  class=\"wrapper  wrapper__spacing-bottom-large--50 wrapper__spacing-bottom-desktop--70 wrapper__spacing-bottom-mobile--50  wrapper__gutter--none\"\n  >\n  \t<div class=\"wrapper__container wrapper__container-width-large--default\">\n\t  <div class=\"wrapper__inner wrapper__width-large--18 wrapper__width-desktop--22 wrapper__width-mobile--24 wrapper__offset-large--6 wrapper__offset-desktop--2 wrapper__offset-mobile--0\">\n\t\t<section class=\"block-post-content\">\n\t<div class=\"block-post-content__title\">\n\t\t<h3 class=\"heading  heading__color--black heading__size--medium heading__font--sans heading__weight--bold  block-post-content__heading\" id=\"nav-mijn-speerpunten608\" data-nav-heading-mobile=\"Mijn speerpunten\">\n\tMijn speerpunten<\/h3>\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"block-post-content__content\">\n\t\t\n<div\n  id=\"\"\n  class=\"wrapper wrapper__spacing-top-large--0 wrapper__spacing-bottom-large--20  wrapper__gutter--none\"\n  >\n  \t<div class=\"wrapper__container wrapper__container-width-desktop--default\">\n\t  <div class=\"wrapper__inner wrapper__width-mobile--24\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"block-lists  block-lists__color--black\">\n\t\t<p class=\"paragraph  paragraph__color--black paragraph__size--default\">\n\t\t\t<\/p><ul class=\"block-lists lists__lists lists__weight--medium lists__color--black lists__type--default\">\n\t<li>Ontmoeting stimuleren in buurten, verenigingen en op culturele plekken.<\/li><li>Cultuur inzetten om mensen met verschillende achtergronden aan elkaar te verbinden.<\/li><li>Meer aandacht voor groen, dierenwelzijn en biodiversiteit als basis voor een gezonde leefomgeving.<\/li><\/ul>\t<\/div>\n\t\t  <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div\n  id=\"\"\n  class=\"wrapper  wrapper__spacing-bottom-large--30 wrapper__spacing-bottom-desktop--20  wrapper__gutter--none\"\n  >\n  \t<div class=\"wrapper__container wrapper__container-width-large--default\">\n\t  <div class=\"wrapper__inner wrapper__width-large--24 wrapper__width-mobile--24\">\n\t\t<p\n\t\tclass=\"paragraph paragraph__align--left paragraph__color--black paragraph__size--default   block-paragraph__paragraph\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\t  <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"block-post-content__sidebar\">\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t  <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1906,"featured_media":1952,"menu_order":10,"template":"","search-tags":[11],"labels":[],"division-tags":[31],"class_list":["post-1950","people-type","type-people-type","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","search-tags-kunst-cultuur-media","division-tags-fractie"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>D66 &#039;s-Hertogenbosch &#8212;
