HET GROENE VELD
Het Groene Veld is one of Amsterdam's last great free spaces. A place in the city where culture and nature aren't invented or planned, but emerge naturally. Free from rigid structures and commercial pressures. Created by (neighborhood) residents, artists, and curious Amsterdammers who want to create, discover, and connect. It's a place where you can still make mistakes and start over, without the feeling of failure. Everyone is welcome at Het Groene Veld and can help build this special ecosystem.
A CITY NEEDS SPACE
Space for wonder and imagination. For chaos and disruption. For play and celebration. For falling and getting back up. For noise and silence. For yourself and each other. Disorganized space that spontaneously connects. Such space is indispensable in a city.
UNDER PRESSURE
Especially in large cities, there's almost no free space left, yet such spaces are essential for a healthy and sustainable city. A city with breathing space and nature amidst the brickwork and bustle of the city. This is how a city remains livable, unique, and social.
Het Groene Veld isn't alone. A growing number of initiatives are grappling with the same challenge: how to survive in a city that's becoming increasingly crowded and expensive? The last few square meters of open space in Amsterdam are at risk of disappearing. That's why we need your help now.
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
SIGN THE PETITION
We would like to remind the municipality that it has indicated that it considers protecting the fringes of the city important.
DONATE
Het Groene Veld is a free space run voluntarily by residents and small, socially responsible businesses. Sometimes it takes more than just dedication and commitment.
SHARE OUR STORY
Help spread our story. You can print a poster yourself and hang it somewhere visible. On green paper is most fun, of course!
