LOCAL FOOD COLLAB
From January 2023 on, all WI people and freelancers get the opportunity to enjoy once a week a warm meal from IMG or Instituut Mevrouw Govaerts, a local school in the village of Heist-Op-Den-Berg. The institute has several educational programmes focused on supporting children with special and other needs, amongst which a learning path preparing for a job in the cooking and catering industries. Throughout a school year, warm meals of 3 courses can be ordered at 9 euro per unit.
​
WI started the collaboration with a test case October 2022 offering all WI people a warm meal together with information on this initiative and the Institute itself. Leftovers could be taken home. Next step was an enquiry to assess who would like a meal on a weekly basis and why or why not. Results were positive resulting in the partnership to become structural from 2023 on.

A study will be commissioned to figure out what the best options are to protect and enhance biodiversity on the WI company grounds. To this end we pledge to undertaken concrete actions starting with the quick wins. Biodiversity is a high awareness topic. Many WIPEOPLE are interested to contribute with ideas and initiatives. Collabs with local organizations are being considered too.
