Join this Placemaking Learning Exchange on 1 March 2024, focused on opportunities for growing community placemaking in SE Europe.

Within the Thriving Communities initiative we see community placemaking as a vital part of creating radical community change. One, because fantastic public spaces have many direct community benefits. Also because the process of placemaking helps us to develop our collaboration and civic imagination capacities, which are essential for creating wider change. So, we think every community needs to be doing a lot of ‘placemaking for civic imagination’ work - recognising that there is still a large gap to fill to achieve this.

We have been advancing this work under the Placemaking for Citizen-led Missions in SE Europe (PLACE) project. We have enabled a series of local placemaking processes in Slovenia, Croatia and Sicily; along with international learning and capacity building events.

This Learning Exchange session will be an opportunity for sharing lessons from this work, and discussing ways to better grow community placemaking in SE Europe.

You will hear from:

Giulia Sala from PUSH
Marta Popiolek from Placemaking Europe
Ivana Šatrak from KLIK
Tim Taylor from Korimako

The PLACE project has been funded through the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values programme of the European Union.
