What is this experience about? Why?
What do you think of when you think about rooftops in cities? Fancy rooftop bars with nice views, penthouse apartments or empty spaces?
The workshop will be hosted by the spatial designer Michelle Heising, who will give a short presentation about her work with the Berlin collective “Operation Himmelblick” and an introduction into sustainable public space & community development with concepts like the “Charta of Neurourbanism” for increasing mental health in cities.
Followed by a 2 hour workshop and discussion to collect insides about the possibilities in Stockholm together with the participants.
Who should come?
It’s an opportunity to gather like-minded people that want to change something in the increasingly gentrified city landscapes, exchange knowledge and form initiatives. It’s for creatives, makers, technicians, pedagogists or politically involved people that want to create sustainable communities and spaces.
Please think about a space or even bring a picture of a unused public space or rooftop in Stockholm.
