71 CHATTING AS A STRATEGIC TOOL FOR SOCIAL COHESION

Scherpenheuvel-Zichem

'Chatting as a strategic tool for social cohesion' focuses on meeting and connecting with others. The Babbelbus literally brings services and a listening ear to people. Comfort chairs in cemeteries offer space for silence, mourning and conversation. Chatting chairs in the neighbourhood invite people to meet and help break through loneliness.
Together with local partners, this helps to build a warm, caring community.
