Description

Description (DE):

Die Auswirkungen des demografischen Wandels werden im ländlichen Raum immer deutlicher spürbar. Die Einrichtungen in den Dörfern nehmen ab, und damit auch die Lebensqualität. Zugleich leiden Identität, Vitalität und Attraktivität der Dörfer darunter. Beide Seiten der NL-D Grenze kennen diese Problematik. Im Rahmen des KRAKE-Projektes greifen die beteiligten Projektpartner diese Problematik gemeinsam mit mindestens 40 Pilotdörfern aus der ERW und der EUREGIO auf mit dem Ziel: Erhalt bzw. Verbesserung der Lebensqualität und soziale Zukunftsfähigkeit der kleinen Dörfer. Die Bedarfe der Dörfer stehen dabei jeweils im Mittelpunkt. Das Projekt fokussiert auf die nachhaltige Stärkung des Selbstmanagement der NL und D Dörfer bezüglich sechs der Themenfelder: Care, Wohnen, gesunder Lebensstil, kinderfreundliche Dörfer, KMU und Ehrenamtlich sowie DNA des Dorfes. Zu jedem Themenfeld entsteht eine Community mit mehreren Pilotdörfern. In enger Zusammenarbeit zwischen den Bürgern/Dörfern, KMU und beteiligten Hochschulen werden innerhalb dieser Communities Konzepte entwickelt und realisiert. Ein zweisprachiges Selbstmanagement Handbuch zum jeweils spezifischen Themenfeld trägt bei zur Übertragbarkeit und Anwendbarkeit der Projektergebnisse für andere NL und D Dörfer - und im Anschluss daran für Stadtviertel und Nachbarschaften. Damit sind die Projektergebnisse auch für Städte und andere ländlichen Gebiete mit einer ähnlichen Problematik interessant. Unterschiede zwischen dem NL und D Gesellschaftssystem, der Gesetzgebung und Kultur führen zu unterschiedlichen Lösungen. Der grenzüberschreitende Erfahrungs- und Wissensaustausch bedeutet voneinander und miteinander lernen und eine weitere Reduzierung der Barrierewirkung der Grenze. Das Projektmanagement ist zuständig für die administrative und organisatorische Abwicklung, die Dissemination der Projektergebnisse sowie die Synergie mit anderen regionalen, überregionalen und Interreg-/EFRO-Projekten

Description (EN):

The consequences of demographic developments are getting more and more noticeable in the Nl and D border regions: double ageing, decrease in the younger population and the population as a whole. Facilities in small villages decrease, and with them also the quality of life of these villages. At the same time the identity, vitality and appeal of these villages are at stake. Problems with all these issues are apparent at both sites of the border. Within the KRAKE-project, all partners in the project, together with at least 40 small (pilot)villages from the ERW and the EUREGIO, will tackle the problems beyond borders and multi-disciplinary, with the aim to keep or improve the quality of life in small villages, together with social sustainability for the future. The needs of these small villages are leading. The focus of the project is on sustainable reinforcing of self-management of NL and D villages, with regard to the following six themes: care, housing, healthy lifestyle, child-friendly villages, Middle and Small Companies and volunteers, and the DNA of the small villages. Around every subtheme a community with pilotvillages will arise. In cooperation with the rural inhabitants, middle and small companies of the villages and the involved Universities of Applied Sciences, concepts for more quality of life will be developed and realized. A NL and D self-management book for all specific subthemes will make the transfer and applicability of the project results towards other small villages - also on the level of neighbourhood. Consequently the project results will be interesting for cities and other rural areas with the same issues. Differences in NL and D culture and social structures will result in learning from each other and in further removing the borders between NL and D. The project management is responsible for the administrative and organizational processing, the dissemination of the project results and the synergy with other regional, national or other Interr

Description (NL):

De gevolgen van de demografische ontwikkeling worden in de landelijke grensregio steeds duidelijker merkbaar: dubbele vergrijzing, ontgroening en krimp. De voorzieningen in dorpen nemen af, en daarmee ook de leefbaarheid. Tegelijkertijd lijden identiteit, vitaliteit en attractiviteit van de dorpen er onder. Deze problematiek bestaat aan beide kanten van de NL-D grens. In het kader van het KRAKE-project pakken de betrokken projectpartners gezamenlijk met min. 40 pilotdorpen uit de ERW en de EUREGIO deze problematiek grensoverschrijdend en multidisciplinair op met als doel: behoud resp. het verbeteren van de leefbaarheid en sociale toekomstbestendigheid van kleine kernen. De behoeften van de dorpen staan daarbij altijd centraal. De focus van het project ligt op het duurzaam versterken van het zelfmanagement van de NL en D kleine kernen m.b.t. zes themagebieden: zorg, wonen, gezonde leefstijl, kindvriendelijke dorpen, MKB en vrijwilligers, en DNA van het dorp. Rondom elk themagebied ontstaat een community met een aantal pilotdorpen. In nauwe samenwerking tussen burgers/dorpen, MKB en betrokken hogescholen worden binnen deze communities concepten ontwikkeld en gerealiseerd. Een tweetalige zelfmanagement handboek t.b.v. het specifieke themagebied draagt bij projecteinde bij aan de overdraagbaarheid en toepasbaarheid van de projectresultaten voor andere NL en D dorpen - en in het verlengde daarvan op wijk- en buurtniveau. Daarmee zijn de projectresultaten ook interessant voor steden en andere landelijke gebieden met een vergelijkbare problematiek. Verschillen tussen NL en D maatschappelijke systemen, wetgeving en cultuur leiden tot verschillende oplossingen. De grensoverschrijdende ervaringsuitwisseling en kennisdeling betekent met elkaar en van elkaar leren en het verder slechten van de grensbarrière. Het projectmanagement is verantwoordelijk voor de administratieve en organisatorische afwikkeling, de disseminatie en de synergie met andere regionale, nationale en Inter

Achievements (EN):

The effects of demographic change are becoming increasingly apparent in rural areas. Village facilities are declining and so is the quality of life. At the same time, the identity, vitality and attractiveness of the villages are suffering. Both sides of the German-Dutch border are aware of this problem. Within the framework of the KRAKE project, the project partners involved have taken up this problem together with 55 pilot villages from the Euregio Rhine-Waal and the EUREGIO with the aim of maintaining or improving the quality of life and social sustainability of the small villages. The focus was on the needs of the villages. The project focused on the sustainable strengthening of the self-management of Dutch and German villages in the six thematic areas: Care, housing, healthy lifestyle, child-friendly villages, SMEs and volunteers as well as the DNA of the village. A community with several pilot villages was created for each topic. Concepts were developed and implemented within these communities in close cooperation between the citizens/villages, SMEs and participating universities. A bilingual self-management handbook on each specific topic contributed to the transferability and applicability of the project results for other Dutch and German villages – and subsequently for districts and neighbourhoods. Thus, the project results are also interesting for cities and other rural areas with similar problems. Differences between the Dutch and German social systems, legislation and culture lead to different solutions. The cross-border exchange of experience and knowledge means learning from and with each other and further reducing the barrier effect of the border. The project management was responsible for the administrative and organisational handling, the dissemination of the project results as well as the synergy with other regional, supra-regional and Interreg/EFRE projects. KRAKE – About the project: Many small villages, settlements and communities know the challenges: The aging society is shrinking, young people are moving to the city, shops are closing, cultural offerings are diminishing – the village is losing its vitality. How can this trend be stopped? And what role can the citizens themselves play in this? This is what the German-Dutch INTERREG V A project KRAKE (Krachtige Kernen/Starke Dörfer) was about. From 2016 to 2019, experts from Münster University of Applied Sciences, Arnhem and Nijmegen University of Applied Sciences, Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences, Münster Chamber of Crafts, Borken District Crafts Association and TAFH Münster GmbH implemented a wide range of scientifically proven solutions directly on site. 55 German and Dutch villages participated in the seven communities Care, DNA, Family, Healthy Lifestyle, IT&Media, Service and Wohn/Woon. The Communities: Care Community, The supply of villages with care services and nursing staff is endangered in the long run. The family as “Care Center of last resort” also threatens to break away. The care community has taken up this social challenge together with the citizens* in the villages in order to develop and implement local solutions: How do we organize ourselves, for example in a care cooperative? How can we successfully implement self-organisation? DNA Community, Municipal structures in rural areas are undergoing change: They influence the identity of villages. Local people often held together and benefited from each other. But how has this identity developed and how can it be used in favour of rural structures? Which DNA does a village possess today and which factors have a decisive influence on coexistence there? Family Community, Fewer and fewer people live in the countryside. As a result, shops, schools and buses are disappearing. How can we work together to ensure that villages remain beautiful places to grow up? And how can we make sure that children can express their opinions? All Family Community villages were busy with activities that make their village more beautiful, great or safer for children. Healthy Lifestyle Community The aim of the Healthy Lifestyle Community was to inspire citizens for a healthy lifestyle and to create the necessary framework conditions. What distinguishes a healthy life and how can it be shaped? How can every citizen influence their own well-being and take responsibility for their own quality of life? What can the community do to create health-promoting structures? IT&Media Community, The aim of the IT&Media Community was to support citizens in the use and further development of existing and new media. How can village development benefit from IT and media services? How can the administration of these services be taken over by the citizens of the village themselves? Which innovative services support citizens in strengthening village development? Service Community, Increasingly, gaps are emerging in the supply structure of small villages in the border region. Companies and businesses are often no longer present. Within the service community, forms of cooperation between local companies and volunteers have been developed to implement activities and develop concepts for maintaining the supply structure and activity in the villages. Woon/Wohn Community, The Woon/Wohn Community has concentrated on the question of how to design the living environment of small villages in order to optimise the quality of life for the residents. Based on demand surveys among residents of a total of eight Dutch and German pilot villages in the German-Dutch border area, the focus was on the residential environment. The assignment of these thematic priorities to the quality of houses, buildings, facilities and settlements led to the development of (draft) recommendations for the residential environment of the small villages. These recommendations offer a point of reference for the clever design and future security of the living environment. The KRAKE project was co-financed by the INTERREG V A programme Germany – Netherlands with funds from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the province of Gelderland and the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Innovation, Digitisation and Energy of North Rhine-Westphalia.
