This workshop takes place within the framework of the European Cultural Creative Spaces and Cities project. CCSC is a research and co-design project that involves seven European cities and some thirty cultural, artistic and academic organizations in the international arena. For two and a half years, the project connects citizen initiatives and cultural spaces with local political leaders through various participatory processes. The objective is to highlight those basic artistic and cultural initiatives that actively transform public spaces and cities, and from this practice propose a compendium of recommendations and proposals to be implemented in the EU.
