Outdoor Office Day - Connect with nature & be active outdoors during working hours.

Featured image

On June 13th 2024 we will celebrate the 6th edition of the international Outdoor Office Day. It’s an open invitation to take your work outside. Please make use of the urban nature around your office. Use your working day to be active outdoors and increase vitality.

This year’s theme is 'Connecting with each other’. This means you can connect with your direct colleagues, colleagues from other departments, neighbours, or external relations. Please make the effort on Thursday 13th June to go outside in the vicinity of your workplace or office. Work in the urban nature and notice the difference.

Please join the growing network of individuals and companies that take their work outside more and more often. Get inspired whilst you spend time surrounded by urban nature. This enhances new and meaningful relationships, stimulates the flow of good ideas and supports the forging of valuable collaborations.

De tweede, herziene druk van #UrbanNatureAmsterdam, de groenblauwe kaart van de stad is er!

Featured image

Bijna drie jaar na de lancering van de eerste versie van de groenblauwe kaart van Amsterdam en 3.000 exemplaren verder, hebben we een tweede - herziene - druk van #UrbanNatureAmsterdam gemaakt. Maandagavond 21 maart werd tijdens Vier de Lente! in Pakhuis de Zwijger het eerste exemplaar uitgereikt aan de nieuwe groenburgemeester van Amsterdam.

Wat is nieuw in deze tweede versie van #UrbanNatureAmsterdam? Ontdek bijvoorbeeld 🌱 de eekhoornbruggen in het Gijsbrecht van Aemstelpark, 🌱 twee nieuwe stadsparken, 🌱 het monumentaal groen of de eerste tiny forest van de stad, 🌱 nieuwe stadse Trage Tochten, 🌱 de natuur in de 'Port of Amsterdam', 🌱 nieuwe partners, 🌱 informatie over natuur inclusief bouwen of 🌱 de vernieuwde top-10 lijsten met dingen die je in de stad kunt doen.

Op de voorzijde van de kaart zie je letterlijk hoeveel groen en blauw in Amsterdam is te vinden: de parken, (binnen)tuinen, plantsoenen, natuurspeeltuinen, sportvelden, grachten, meren, polders en bossen. De achterzijde van de kaart vol met informatie fungeert als een oproep aan de gebruiker: ontdek de natuur, maar draag ook bij aan vergroening van de stad.

Met dank aan Urban Good CIC en aan onze nieuwe partners Buurtgroen020, Anmec en Natuurfontein. En partners Gemeente Amsterdam, Staatsbosbeheer, Waterschap Amstel, Gooi en Vecht en Recreatie Noord Holland.

Wandelend vergaderen (=weeting) met de #UrbanNatureAmsterdam kaart

Featured image

Wandelen in de natuur maakt overleggen productiever, creatiever en gezonder. Waarom niet wandelend vergaderen? Op 24 september nodigen we jullie uit om wandelend een onbekende te ontmoeten. Dit event vindt plaats in het kader van De week van het Groene Kapitaal.

Op de eerste groenblauwe kaart van Amsterdam staan er maar liefst 7 ‘weeting’ routes met als doel om mensen die in Amsterdam werken te inspireren om hun werkvergaderingen naar buiten te verplaatsen.

Meer informatie over weetings: <https://www.weeting.nl/uitleg/>

WHERE ARE YOU WORKING ON 23.06.2020?

The Outdoor Office Day comes at a moment that many people are slowly returning to their old habits of living and working. Tuesday 23 June 2020 offers a great opportunity to look back and reflect on what we have experienced. Since March we have mostly worked from home and redefined the ways in which we communicate and relax. We have created home offices; if possible we did that in our gardens, balconies, on our roof terraces and in front of our windows hoping to catch a ray of sun shine. We have surrounded ourselves with plants. We have learned to grab every opportunity to go outdoors to exercise, work, meet, learn, relax, play, breath in the fresh air or watch the sky. Social media is filled with photos of people celebrating Spring, witnessing the first green leaves, flowers and fruit trees in bloom.

The pandemic showed us all that we need nature more than ever. We also help each other more than ever and seem to adapt to the situation quickly. Every day we are getting more and more creative. So stay healthy while working! Let’s celebrate life and - for the ones who can do that - make each day a bit of an #OutdoorOfficeDay.

WAAR WERK JIJ OP 23.06.2020?

De jaarlijkse Outdoor Office Day staat symbool voor de geleidelijke terugkeer naar onze oude manier van leven en werken. Dinsdag 23 juni 2020 is natuurlijk ook een mooie gelegenheid om met collega’s en relaties terug te blikken op een lange periode van thuis werken. We hebben opnieuw moeten leren nadenken over alternatieve manieren van werken. We hebben sinds half maart thuis kantoren gecreëerd: in tuinen, op balkons, op dakterrassen en voor onze ramen. In de hoop om een glimp van de voorjaarszon op te vangen.

We omringen onszelf met planten. Elke kans hebben we aangegrepen om naar buiten te gaan om te rennen, fietsen en lopen. Meer dan ooit wordt onze stedelijke natuur intensief gebruikt. Door mensen die willen bewegen, frisse lucht inademen, de blauwe lucht bewonderen en genieten van de natuur. De sociale media staat vol met foto’s van mensen die de lente vieren, de eerste groene blaadjes, voorjaarsbloemen en fruitbomen in bloei.

We helpen elkaar, passen ons aan en worden elke dag creatiever. Blijf gezond. Vier het leven samen. Als je het kan: maak van elke dag een beetje een #OutdoorOfficeDay.
