Projects submitted to citizen vote on Hoplr

Tool library

Give people the opportunity to rent different tools for occasional (or one-off) use, in exchange for a fee and for a pre-determined period of time.

  • avoid unnecessary purchases: fewer purchases, more money to spend on real needs
  • less waste
  • more space in the cellar/house/apartment
  • reduced risk of fire

Dog Park

Give dogs enough space in the neighborhood so they can enjoy nature and avoid soiling children’s playgrounds and public areas. Dogs will have their own entertainment area in a dedicated zone, and owners can supervise activities.

Differdange Minigolf

The minigolf project in Differdange is an intergenerational project. Minigolf is a leisure activity enjoyed by all age groups. Whether children play with each other, with their parents or grandparents, or with groups of friends, everyone can test their skills at minigolf, where skill and concentration are required.

A minigolf course in Differdange would be an excellent leisure offer for local residents, especially as minigolf is often associated with vacations, enabling people who can’t afford to go on vacation to take advantage of this offer. It would also be an additional attraction for the tourist offer. There are no minigolf courses in the vicinity, so it would be an added value for Differdange.

 

 

 

Calisthenics Park

An outdoor area specially designed for calisthenics. It is equipped with various structures for a wide range of bodyweight exercises. These parks are designed to provide an optimal environment for exercising outdoors, encouraging the development of strength, agility and flexibility, while promoting physical exercise in the community.

Citizens can exercise free of charge and close to home, encouraging them to adopt a healthy lifestyle. Citizens can socialize through a shared interest in gymnastics.
