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.

The Prinzessinnengarten Kollektiv is a community garden at the New St. Jacobi Cemetery in Berlin-Neukölln that invites people to garden and experience nature. During their open gardening days, children, young people and adults, neighbors and interested lay people can get involved in the design of the garden areas and gain experience in local, organic cultivation of crops. The main goal of their work is to provide educational and participation opportunities. Their activities are open to everyone and range from sowing, planting and harvesting to seed production, processing and preserving vegetables, keeping bees and building a worm compost to questions of communal design of urban living spaces. By trying things out together and exchanging experiences and knowledge, the Prinzessinnengarten’s community re-acquire old cultural techniques and learn a lot about biodiversity, urban ecology, climate adaptation, recycling and sustainable forms of urban life. Alongside these socio-cultural activities, the Prinzessinnengarten is involved in many cultural and research projects, always with an alternative point of view and linked with sustainability in a holistic way.
