Building Civic Ecosystems
IN TRANSIT is a European networking platform for citizen-led urban regeneration initiatives to exchange knowledge, best practice and new ideas.
It brings together a range of ground-breaking civic initiatives that are pro-actively instigating and developing innovative and sustainable measures to improve living conditions and create opportunities for civic engagement within their neighbourhood and beyond. As an international platform supporting exchange of knowledge, best practice and mutual learning between peers, IN TRANSIT aims to facilitate far-reaching synergies for today’s civic movers and shakers.
In a series of differently themed workshops across Northwestern Europe,
IN TRANSIT discusses and advances a range of burning aspects relevant to each location and the respective participating initiatives. An opportunity to meet international, like-minded instigators; compare organisational set-ups and strategies; discuss key findings and bounce off ideas, workshops focus for example on themes including social polarisation, access to space, alternative housing models, etc.
