Lessons from an Exchange: Bucharest and Amsterdam
This report reflects on a learning exchange between Bucharest Community Foundation and community-based organisations in Amsterdam. It highlights practical ideas for strengthening community engagement through celebratory events, flexible micro-grants, alternative city tours, arts-based activities and asset-based approaches. Team reflections also explore how positive experiences, imagination, trust and attention to internal processes can help community foundations reconnect neighbours, reduce social tensions and sustain participation during periods of uncertainty.
