Our story
Wageningen is jong, internationaal en betrokken. Maar ook: vol uitdagingen. Betaalbaar wonen, klimaatstress, ongelijkheid, ingewikkelde regels – veel mensen voelen zich niet gehoord of buitengesloten. Connect-Volt Wageningen wil dat anders doen.
We’re building a city where you can participate and have a say. Where housing is affordable, sustainability is common sense, your ideas are taken seriously, and you can shape your future.
The major issues of our time don’t stop at the city limits. Climate, agriculture, housing, digital security—they’re felt locally but connected to Europe and The Hague. Connect knows what’s happening on the streets, and Volt brings European solutions and knowledge within reach. Together, we translate European opportunities into solutions for Wageningen.
We don’t choose polarized politics—we choose real change. Practical, open, together. Whether it’s cooperative housing, a climate-friendly campus, or multilingual participation—we’re building a city where everyone feels at home.
Wageningen is betrokken. Maar politiek voelt voor velen nog als iets van ‘anderen’. Daar brengen wij verandering in. Connect-Volt Wageningen maakt democratie toegankelijker, eerlijker, begrijpelijker – voor studenten, jongeren, internationals, starters én gevestigde bewoners.
Because you don’t need to be a big city or a big country to make an impact. If we work together locally and use Europe’s opportunities, Wageningen can show what the future looks like.
