Digital Co-Creation Lab Commons Sense – Results

3 July 2020

In June, we hosted digital co-creation lab Commons Sense. The event was organised by European Cultural Foundation and University of Antwerp in cooperation with l’Asilo, Boekman Foundation and Trans Europe Halles.

Nearly 500 participants registered for the event. During the co-creation lab, 12 highly enthusiastic and committed teams spent two full days working on how to increase citizen participation in European institutions. Each team chose one of three challenges that resonated most with them:

1.) Commons as Ecosystems for Culture After Covid-19
2.) Co-Creating Cultural Policies in Cities
3.) Building Spaces of Encounter Between Local and EU Levels.

If you are interested to see what the teams came up with, you are more than welcome to explore their proposals below.

A few policy officers of the EU attended the co-creation lab, including Catherine Magnant — Head of Unit European Commission’s Directorate-General for Education and Culture (DG EAC) — who closed the event.

First reactions about the event from the co-creation lab participants.
