On Nov. 9, 2018, World Compassion Day, Mayor Bruls and aldermen signed the Nijmegen City of Compassion Declaration (https://www.nijmegenstadvancompassie.nl/ondertekening-van-de-verklaring-van-nijmegen-stad-van-compassie). The message was and still is clear: Nijmegen wants to be a city for everyone, a city that stands for compassion for each other.

Nijmegen, City of Compassion, is an initiative taken by a number of Nijmegen organizations: Centrum Ontmoeting in Levensvragen (Center for Encountering in Life Questions), the Hobby Center Nonnendaal, House of Compassion, Bij Bosshardt, Pleisterplaats van de Ziel and the Raad voor Levensbeschouwing en Religie Nijmegen (Council for Philosophy and Religion Nijmegen). Involved "unattached" Nijmegen residents also participate in the initiative.

By now more than 100 organizations have joined Nijmegen City of Compassion and we continue to work on connection, equality and a positive appreciation of diversity. Anyone wishing to join further is most welcome.
