It's the first initiative of its kind in Wallonia! The Domain & Royal Museum of Mariemont has recently set up a new consultative and participatory body: the Collectif Citoyen.

Following a call for applications from all citizens wishing to get involved in this new project, 35 people expressed their interest and motivation.

With the ambition of forging closer links between the institution and local residents, the members of the Collectif will play a crucial role as mediators, encouraging active participation in the life of the Estate and the Museum.

The Collective's activities will focus on four main areas:

•  Consultation: The Collectif will be consulted in order to gain a better understanding of the expectations of the estate's users with regard to various issues raised by the institution.
•  Participation: Members will have the opportunity to propose participative citizen activities and to contribute voluntarily to specific projects.
•  Sensibilisation : The Collectif will raise awareness of the Domaine's situation among local players and provide essential information to the institution.
•  Communication : Members will help to promote the estate's activities to local audiences.
