CLIENT:
Province of Overijssel
Question:
Support during a co-creation process for a new programme Natuur voor Elkaar.
Process:
- Based on Future Search and Appreciative Inquiry, tailor made
Results:
- Joint ambitions and action plans for the programme and strengthened relationships between the partner organizations.
The province of Overijssel asked Perspectivity to support the development of a new programme on nature protection and inclusion, called Natuur voor Elkaar, which can be translated in Nature for Each Other. Perspectivity developed and facilitated a two-days multi-stakeholder co-creation work conference.
Elien Rogaar and Marjolein Kok worked together with the “Natuur voor Elkaar” team to identify key topics, developed the co-creation process and provided advice to strengthen the governance structure of the programmme.
Natuur voor Elkaar is a programme and movement that existed six years. The programme and approach had to be renewed. Hence, current and new partners were invited to co-create the next edition of the programme Nature for each other.
About 60 participants from diverse organisations joined the work conference at a beautiful estate in the countryside of Overijssel, including nature organisations, entrepreneurs, policy makers, education professionals, housing cooperations and provincial staff.

Pairs of participants went for Mirror Walks together.
The results were concrete action plans and strengthened relationships. It was a great kick off of the new programme Nature for Each Other.
Chiwei from Perspectivity took care of harvesting all the outputs and together with the provincial team it was brought together in a report.
The new programme has been running since April 2024.
