INIK Strategy:
The strategy will be to connect the project "Park 7"—located on the terrain of a former textile mill in Forst—with the town. The project aims at anchoring "Park 7" more deeply into the town as a non-profit funding organization in the field of youth culture and social work. In doing so, it will be important to overcome hindrances and build reciprocal acceptance among the association, population and politicians. Consequently, the organization will profit from an expansion of space and use and the population from an improved quality of life and work, which will result in integration and an increasing sense of identity.

Background:
A non-profit organization—operating in the fields of culture, youth and social work—has moved into a vacated industrial complex in the town of Forst. The organization offers rooms to youth at reasonable rates, in which they will be able to initiate projects of their own. Other social institutions such as a district youth organization, counselors for drug addiction and a regional answering service for foreigners have also moved into the complex.
