Culture Lab Europe: Spaces for Solidarity
Republished by ECBN from: European Cultural Foundation
On Europe Day the European Cultural Foundation kicks off the online version of Culture Lab Europe – Spaces for Solidarity. The event was planned to take place in April in Rijeka, Croatia, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 crisis. Fifty cultural activists and change-makers will explore ways to collaborate on initiatives to strengthen European Public Space. In the week from 22 to 28 June, several live events will take place online. All across Europe, citizens (including those who are not formally recognised as such) are creating new online and offline spaces where working together and generating solidarity is what matters. In these spaces culture functions as a language to describe reality, to express feelings and opinions. Culture works to strengthen social ties and helps to imagine alternative ways of living and engaging with others.
