Mark Verhijde Advice and Projects B.V.
I create new relationships between governments, organisations and people. Key principles are more civic participation and social initiatives with more perspective for end users. But also less top-down practices by the authorities and fewer bumps due to legislation and rules.

Advice, projects and programs
How do authorities act on civic participation? Which opportunities are there for initiatives from society? How do we create powerful neighbourhoods and villages? Can everyone really join and participate? I support and work on these issues as a policy advisor, project leader or programme manager.
Trainings and guidance
How do residents and entrepreneurs gain more ownership of their environment? What does open government mean both for citizens and for governments? What about legislation and regulations, risks, safety and liability? My support on such questions involves roles as a trainer, a teacher, a discussion leader or a supervisor.
Interim activities
What does DIY actually mean for your organization and employees? How do you determine a realistic course when it comes to more civic participation? I support here as a policy advisor, a project leader, a programme manager on an interim basis.
What about liability for citizens' initiatives?
