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 we are 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 this 2nd episode we interviewed Natassa Dourida from Communitism (Athen, Greece). Protecting the heritage building of Athen turning it into new cultural dynamics, this sociocultural center is deeply connected to his territory and neighborhood, practicing art and community in an alternative and symbiotic way. Like the Floating University, they consider themselves as a learning place, where collaborative and commoning of knowledge and practice are central. This community-aspects reminds us of the Malmö workshop hosted by our partner NGBG, where these dynamics are also crucial.
