Mourning & Celebrating - We make space for grief. On the market square in Wageningen, to light a candle, write something, or tie a ribbon in a tree....
We're creating space for mourning in the heart of the city. A greenhouse in a public space, the market square in Wageningen. To give grief a place in society and make it a topic of discussion. A place to light a candle or write something. The last two weeks of December, because December can feel lonely for many people.
When?
From December 13 to 27, 2026. Every day between 11:00 AM and 8:00 PM, including the Christmas holidays, everyone is welcome in the greenhouse.
Will you help?
We need volunteers to staff the greenhouse during opening hours, and we could really use your help! We can lend a listening ear, answer questions, or just be there. We have six volunteers working in three teams each day (from 11 AM to 14 PM, from 14 PM tot 17 PM and from 17 PM to 20 PM).
Before the opening, a volunteer kickoff meeting will be held on. We will share practical information and the schedule, so everyone can prepare properly. This date will be announced later.
You can register as a volunteer here or via the website, https://rouwenenvierenwageningen.nl/vrijwilligers/.
Questions? Please call us at 06-51689762 (Vief Joosten) or 06-13429338 (Ria Meurs-Mugge).
