Tytsjerksteradiel Blooms!

With Tytsjerksteradiel Bloeit, we want to encourage our residents to work together to create an environment where people can grow old healthily. Villages can contribute to this by connecting all healthy, sporting, green and social activities. This will make it easier for residents to participate, meet others and live healthier lives. Connecting these activities can be done by organizing a Bloom Week or Bloom Activities. On this page you can get inspiration to make your own village bloom. 

Flowering Weeks

It is possible to make your village flourish by organizing a Bloom Week. A Bloom Week is a festive week in which existing activities of associations and clubs are highlighted and supplemented with new activities. These activities help people stay healthy longer, such as swimming together, learning to make healthy snacks, a music festival or a temporary village campground.

Flowering Activities

But there are more ways to make your village a Bloom Village. This does not have to be a whole week, it is also possible to start smaller with Bloom activities. For example, a day with the theme of relaxation, with sustainable tips, sports activities and a pleasant meeting with young and old.

A Bloom Zone in Tytsjerksteradiel

When you drive into the village, you immediately notice that public space has been returned to the people. Cars are parked at the edge of the village, allowing children to play freely among fruit trees, flower beds and bushes in places where there used to be parking lots. Benches invite conversation, and the village breathes tranquility and connectedness.

Although the village is small and many amenities of the past have disappeared, healthy and fresh food is available to all. Every Saturday morning, the harvest from the village kitchen garden is distributed in the village hall. At the same time, residents can pick up their groceries ordered online from local suppliers. Those who need something extra can pass it on via an app; a fellow villager will then take it on his or her own shopping round.

From these joint dining initiatives, all sorts of other groups have sprung up. For example, there is a library club that delivers books to the homes of people without transportation - a popular side job for young people. There are reading clubs for both fiction and non-fiction, and storytelling nights are organized regularly. There are also walking, cycling and boating clubs, a film club and a cooking club that makes meals from leftover harvest, available in the village hall's share freezer.

The village hall itself is a focal point in the village. When the municipality wanted to close it, residents took it over and renovated it themselves. Now it accommodates a caretaker who lives there, and tourists or lodgers from fellow villagers. The renovation brought people together and led to a handyman's club that is still active.

Not everyone participates in everything, but there is always an eye for each other. The "curtain rule" ensures that no one goes unseen into isolation: if the curtains stay closed for too long, a neighbor will check to see how things are going. Every year there is the Bloom Week, during which all the groups organize something extra. The highlight? The village camping and communal eating in the buorren - a feast of connection and creativity.

Successful Bloom Week in Noardburgum

From June 24 to Saturday, June 28, with a core group of nine residents, we had the opportunity to organize the Bloom Week in Noardburgum. Where in the beginning there was unfamiliarity and uncertainty, it eventually became a great success.

We were able to offer activities to our residents during this week, in all age groups. Overall, attendance was very good. From activities full of fun and sociability to initiatives centered on health and community strength, it was a valuable and successful week.

As far as we are concerned, the greatest gain lies in joining forces within the mienskip and the ability not to focus on mutual differences between residents and organizations, but rather on that which binds Noardburgum and gives energy to our beautiful village!

So we thank all the residents, initiators and boosters for their support. We are already looking forward to another Bloom Week!

Our conclusion is clear: Noardburgum is thriving ... and brûst!
