Erasmus Verbindt

Equality and reciprocity in collaboration are among our core values. Erasmus Verbindt is always looking for a shared concern, interest or ambition, on the basis of which we can establish a collaboration. Based on this, we create assignments together with our partners, lecturers and students that create a win-win situation for everyone. After all, together we are stronger than alone. In this way, we now support approximately 100 lecturers and almost 200 social partners per year.

Thematic and neighbourhood-oriented approach

In addition to connecting individual lecturers and partners, Erasmus Verbindt also contributes to the development of neighbourhood-oriented and thematic networks. We believe that the larger challenges in the city in particular require broad cooperation and a long-term approach. For this reason, we are paying extra attention to, among other things, the Crooswijk urban area and themes such as energy transition, homelessness issues and various health issues. We do this in close cooperation with our colleagues from Wijkwijs, in Crooswijk and the Hefhouse.
