cooperation

The Iona Stichting supports actual initiatives that spring from the changing needs of society. The logo symbolizes the crossroads between ideal and reality. The vertical line of the spiritual ideal and the horizontal line of the active encounter between social organizations and the Iona Stichting cross where cooperation is made possible.  

Supporting actual needs asks for cooperation with other, independent, organizations that value the same ideals. Proceeding from various disciplines we work together with the following partners:

nivoz

The NIVOZ foundation (Netherlands Institute for Education and Child Care) is a refuge for thinking and designing out of the box; a place for concentration, reflection and dialogue. NIVOZ strengthens teachers, school leaders and other stakeholders in the execution of their educational assignment. Their view is that every person is connected and responsible in society and that education has the social responsibility to make a contribution.

Louis Bolk Institute

For more than 40 years the Louis Bolk Institute has been developing knowledge about sustainable agriculture, nutrition and health: three areas that are interconnected. Focal points are nature-inclusive agriculture and positive health. The institute works on strengthening natural systems and processes, whether these relate to agricultural areas, soil, farms, patients, or urban neighborhoods. Louis Bolk conducts projects in close collaboration with stakeholders, aiming for participatory and practical solutions.
