“How do you engage active neighbours in saving energy together with the rest of their neighbourhood?”
Djoera Eerland shares the challenges and learnings of kickstarting neighbourhood collectives at scale. We talk about strong shoulders, accessible tooling and dynamics of neighbourhood teams. Buurkracht invests heavily in qualitative and academic research to understand their local communities and group behaviour.
Djoera shares some of the strategies they’ve found most effective in mobilizing neighbourhood teams to take action. In the end they not only help them to save energy, but also improve social cohesion in the neighbourhood.
