Attract international culture
For a city where 17.6% of the inhabitants were born outside the Netherlands, we see very little permanent international culture. We want to actively look for entrepreneurs who want to set up a Japanese style karaoke bar, Chinese style internet café or Scandinavian style coffee house, because Wageningen has all the knowledge and cultural affinity.
Theater and higher culture must be organized regionally
We want theater and higher culture to be organized and financed regionally. We are very happy with our theater, but we pay Junushoff half a million a year, while half of that does not end up with our own residents. After all, more than half of the visitors come from outside. If our plans do not work, we want at least more Wageningers to use Junushoff.
Take action against vacant property
We think it's a shame when buildings are empty for a long time. Unfortunately, owners in Wageningen have no reason to fill their buildings quickly. We want these owners to allow temporary rent for pop-up projects such as galleries or stores. The fact that a building is for rent does not have to mean that it is empty, because there are enough creative ideas.
