Community Values

What we stand for. Grounded is...

Empowering

We believe that you can do it.
Grounded provides the context in which every one of us can make a difference. We build each other up, we encourage each other’s ideas, and we help and trust each other to realize them.

Inclusive

We welcome and appreciate diversity.
Grounded wants to be a safer space where everyone is welcome as they are. We respect and embrace our differences and learn from each other.

Fun

We celebrate what is great.
At Grounded, we don’t forget to have a good time, keep it light, and celebrate the bright side of life. This way, we get to experience and show that the sustainable way can be the more fun one too.

Creative

We achieve a lot with very little.
We are resourceful, adaptable and resilient – just like our environment.

Willing to (un)learn

We are motivated to become better every day.
We are all different, and none of us is perfect; that’s why we are willing to challenge our own views and seek to experience others’ worlds to broaden our horizons every day.

The Power of "we"

We are stronger together.
At Grounded we understand that we are part of something bigger. Together, we are more than the sum of individuals, and every one of us takes responsibility for carrying their fair share.

Creating positive impact

We inspire change and make it happen.
Our actions and initiatives showcase tangible, alternative solutions that add value to our social and ecological systems and inspire people to drive the change they want to see.

100% Community-Powered

Grounded is a volunteer-run collective with a focus on sustainability and social awareness embracing the alternative and non-commercial scene of Utrecht and its surroundings. We organize parties all year long, a big festival once a year, and regular meet-ups to inspire and create alternative and sustainable ways of living modern life.
