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.

First, these videos will help you to better understand the topics of Alter-Places on which we work on each of our workshops, meetings and activities. But, as you know one of the main goals of Alter-Places is to share the tacit knowledge and practices of alternative cultural places, as well as the issues they face regarding sustainability. Also you will moreover discover some inspiring ACPs and specific sustainability-linked practices and issues they experiment.

From a former film storage facility in Berlin, UFA Fabrik has become a cultural place, including a neighborhood center focused on social activities, numerous cultural and artistic stages, a bakery, and even a school ! Behind this wide range of activities lies UFA Fabrik's commitment to a more sustainable society, which is also reflected in the many ecological infrastructures that have been developed on its premises over the years. Werner Wartalla gave us a brief introduction to some of these infrastructures, and described the ecological vision on which he bases them, linked to the representation of circles dynamics and taking culture into account as the 4th pillar of sustainability.
