Something more about your co-residents
My name is Anja (47). I live in Ghent and work as a policy officer and community
builder at De Ark, an international organization for people with disabilities. My work
and private life are seamlessly intertwined and I like that. Everyone at my
workplace and elsewhere knows me as a (Clini)clown, with one of my hand puppets as a loyal
ally at my side.
I am Geert (63), recently retired as a teacher and policy officer for the Flemish
Government. I love Ghent as a city, my children live there and recently also my first
grandchild. In addition to my new role as grandfather, I like singing and meeting my
friends. I love pilgrimages and have just returned from a hike to Santiago de
Compostella.
.. and I am Heidi (42). After an extensive career as a teacher of art didactics and head of
Education Policy at a Flemish college, I made the choice last year to
retrain in organic agriculture and horticulture in Ghent. I love searching for and finding
wild edible plants and am currently learning the permaculture principles.
Together we are a group of friends who have already earned some stripes in our studies, jobs and
commitments in life. Our paths crossed in community life and
friendships were forged there on the basis of shared values.
These things we like to do togther
