can we trust each other?

…that was the subject of the first emails to the people Vandejong communications wanted to get involved with their project; Creating Trustville. The Amsterdam based agency has detected a decline in the societal discussion regarding vision and development of society and culture.
Positions on the political spectrum -both left and right, are deepening and are increasingly rigid; politics and media alike. The empty arguments find a desolate no-man’s land that is ‘the people’ – and more often, completely misses them. Where do we base trust if we can base it at all? What is it made of; this trust?

intriguing newspaper direct mail piece which i received from design agency ‘vandejong’ introducing their new project ‘creating trustville’
