Hello dear resident (or ex-resident) of the Bloemekenswijk. Together we form a beautiful community of about 9.550 people in the Bloemekenswijk. Some people have lived here all along, others for a while, others have only just moved in, and still others have left. Did you know that by the end of 2023, no less than 70% of us trust his/her local residents, and that 60% of us help each other? That's something to be proud of! Source: https://gent.buurtmonitor.be/
With our working group "Memories from the Bloemekenswijk" we want to learn a lot about our Bloemekenswijk and its residents. "We" are some people from the Bloemekenswijk who are looking for ways to broaden our identity as Bloemekenswijk residents and that is precisely why we are interested in everyone from the Bloemekenswijk.
"What stories do we have to tell, who are we, who are our neighbors, have we/they lived here long, where did we/they used to live, why did we/they come to live here, how do we experience the Bloemekenswijk, etc."
That is why we have drawn up a number of questions to which we would of course like to receive as many answers as possible.
At the end of this project, we want to give a ""Flower"-lecture about our Bloemekenswijk and its inhabitants. So join us and help us map out the rich history and warm heart of our neighborhood. Let's bring the stories of the Bloemekenswijk to life together!
We are going to give you the opportunity to answer our questions in various ways. This gives everyone the opportunity to contribute.
At the end of 2024, there was also a survey of some Bloemekenswijk residents, with sometimes overlapping questions. Don't be bothered by that too much and feel free to skip the questions you answered earlier. You are also not obliged to answer all questions.
Possible identification data is also never passed on. We only use them to guarantee the representativeness of the answers, and/or to inform you afterwards about the end result.
Everyone who shares his/her story with us can count on a nice gift and a final report with the collected stories of the Bloemekenswijk!
