Open Call Crossing Borders Event
From the Dogger Bank to Hasselt to an asylum seekers centre in Amsterdam: borders determine how we see, live, travel, plan, and coexist. On Tuesday 2 June, Vereniging Deltametropool is organising a day centred on the insights from the projects selected for the Open Call Crossing Borders. This open call was issued by the Creative Industries Fund NL as part of the Spatial Design Action Programme, a stimulation programme to strengthen the use of spatial design in addressing societal challenges that require far-reaching adaptations to our living environment.
With the Open Call Crossing Borders, the Creative Industries Fund NL aims to contribute a new perspective on our border regions. Through design-based research, various dimensions of borders have been explored: from physical and landscape borders to administrative dividing lines and social barriers. Together with the Fund, Vereniging Deltametropool is guiding thirteen design and research projects that, across all kinds of areas (geographically and thematically) seek out and transcend borders to find new answers to urgent challenges.

The Impact Community
Vereniging Deltametropool is building the Crossing Borders Impact Community on behalf of the Fund: a network that connects projects, shares knowledge, and amplifies impact. Part of this is an online database featuring the 13 selected projects, with space for other initiatives in and around border regions. In this way, they make visible what is already happening, making it easier to connect with one another and growing a shared source of knowledge and contacts.
