Program Launch: Local Sparks

24 September 2019

LOCAL SPARKS

‘A single spark can start a movement’

Together with KNHM Foundation and Arcadis, Lovinklaan Foundation has launched a new program: Local Sparks! Local Sparks connects 200+ community projects run by Arcadians around the world. Visit the Local Sparks platform to share your stories or get inspiration and information about existing and new community engagement projects within Arcadis. If you’re interested in taking your project further, join the Challenge or Accelerator by uploading your own community engagement project​.

WHY community engagement? 

We are passionate about improving quality of life – be it through our projects, people or clients. We want to see the communities we live, work and play in be more sustainable, livable and resilient. What’s more, our clients too (and their clients) are increasingly looking to work with companies that see this as a priority. ​

What’s Local Sparks all about?

Launched by Lovinklaan Foundation, KNHM Foundation and Arcadis​​, Local Sparks is an umbrella program that puts people first by placing a spotlight on 200+ of Arcadis‘ community projects around the world. Through it, we encourage socially engaged Arcadians (like you) to share their community engagement projects, initiate new ones, and participate in a Challenge or Accelerator program to expand their impact.

This program presents you with a unique opportunity to:

  • Get inspired by some of the great work your colleagues are doing around the globe through community engagement projects
