Wijk aan Zee won the "Village Renewal Award" Sunday, 22.11.2009 - Bert Kisjes Yesterday Wijk aan Zee won the "Village Renewal Award". The real prize will be that we for the Netherlands have to compete for the European prize, next year in Sud Tirol in Italy. For us and I think for our movement Cultural Village as such it is a recognition for our eleven years long during journey.
The jury told us that we won the prize because we did not show them buildings, stuctures and a way of organization, but that we showed them people, informal structures and culture as the vehicle between people.
We showed them a vital village as a place where people have good and active life.
In february our presentation for the European Award should be ready.
Later in the year the Prizegiving will be in Italy.
