During that campaign, residents, passers-by and entrepreneurs who contribute to an accessible environment received a card and a small gift. The municipality of Zwartewaterland writes that the working group took to the streets to compliment rather than complain. According to the municipality, the campaign drew many positive reactions: passers-by stopped to talk, and entrepreneurs shared their own experiences.
The campaign ties in with the theme 'Iedereen doet mee' ('Everyone takes part') from the municipal prevention memorandum. According to the municipality, accessibility is about major changes to public spaces. But it is also about small, everyday choices, such as where you park your bike or where you put an advertising board.
Councillor Alijn Muijsers on the initiative: "Taking part in society should be possible for everyone. The working group shows that you can also draw attention to this in a positive way. That really appeals to me."
The municipality published the report on the campaign on Tuesday 8 September. When the working group will take to the streets in Hasselt is not yet known.
