Learning curve We can learn a lot from this pilot. Some lessons are already taking root. For example, it is important to involve everyone with a say in the project from start to finish. Buitenruimte voor Contact took care of this aspect. However, as some people changed jobs or gradually took less interest in the creation of the Garden of Remembrance, it was difficult to keep all the key figures and decision-makers involved in the process from start to finish. And this is essential to its success. The designated use also changed during the process, from a temporary park to a smaller permanent garden. This meant that the rules changed and the design had to be modified in line, causing a delay in the project as a whole. To fully understand what happens during the reminiscence sessions, the professionals involved in the project should be encouraged to come and join in group reminiscing about childhood memories. They need to understand how vulnerable it feels when you tell other people about the pranks you used to play or your first secret kiss with your girlfriend. This will enable them to put themselves in the residents’ shoes. The future The HerInnerd Groen [Green memories] concept represents the completion of a pilot with a unique idea: the Garden of Remembrance is now reality. As a garden, it serves as an excellent example for other locations in the Netherlands where public green spaces could be the ideal vehicle for promoting a greater understanding between people of different backgrounds and ages. And as an example of community participation with a unique perspective. We will review the situation in a year. What will the garden look like? Will the residents still be as committed to the Garden of Remembrance? Only time will tell. 43 Pagina 49
