Alter-Places is launching a new video series called : "Gets to know". These videos featured presentations and interviews with inspiring Alternative Cultural Places and projects (ACPs) connected to sustainability teams that align with our ongoing work. Since June, we have had the opportunity to visit many of these places and conduct interviews about their sustainability challenges and practices. Now, we are excited to share some of these insightful encounters with you.

First, these videos aim to deepen your understanding of the themes explored in Alter-Places' workshops, meetings, and activities. They also align with Alter-Places' mission to share the tacit knowledge and practices of ACPs, as well as the sustainability challenges they face. Additionally, the series aims to showcase innovative ACPs and their unique approaches to sustainability.

In the first video, we (re)discover the Floating University in Berlin, a former rainwater collection basin that has been transformed into a self-organized alternative cultural space. It is a hub for co-creation and future-oriented projects, particularly those focused on Nature-Culture dynamics. The initiative aims to open, maintain, and care for this one-of-a-kind site while providing non-disciplinary, radical, and collaborative programs to the public. Their approach to space use, programming, and internal organization offers valuable insights into sustainability-related challenges and practices.
