WOBO acknowledges the opportunities offered by the PUBLIC SPACE academy.
We’re happy to announce that we are opening the applications for the Public Space Academy workshop which will take place in Bologna, Italy, on 1-10 September 2023!
As mentioned in our last newsletter, in addition to the online experience of te Academy, we also aim to organize face-to-face activities to allow the community to meet in person, exchange knowledge and share new experiences. The “Suburban Spark: Unlocking Interdisciplinary Public Space Strategies for Neglected Urban Areas” is the first of these events!
The 10-day workshop will be a collaborative experience, allowing for various ways of involvement through presentations, seminars, collaborative work sessions, site visits, city trips and more!
During the event we will be focusing on the underexplored topic of suburban public spaces and their role in peoples livelihoods. As the workshop is open to everyone (students, artists, researchers, professionals, and all other public space enthusiasts) we will be focusing on imagining interdisciplinary strategies for developing and improving public spaces in such neglected contexts.
