Project description
A platform for citizens who want to improve their neighbourhood
Citizen participation is considered one of the most powerful bottom-up tools for addressing local communities’ needs. There are many examples of citizen engagement and mobilisation. The EU-funded gE.CO Living Lab project will create an exchange platform to map the formal groups and informal community of citizens behind the fab-labs, incubators, co-creation spaces and social centres created in regenerated urban voids. The map will provide a Europe-wide overview of generative commons. It will also facilitate connections. Overall, the project will develop toolkits providing insight into best case practices which are based on sharing and collaboration between citizens, as well as the creation of new partnerships between public institutions and local communities.
