Day 1 – April 24

This day opened the Paris workshop with two key moments. The morning was dedicated to a discussion on The Transformation of Alternative Cultural Places (ACPs) Over Time, addressing the strategies and challenges involved in ensuring their long-term sustainability. In the afternoon, attention turned inward with a collective Alter-Places Project Evaluation, offering space to reflect on the journey so far and to outline possible directions and actions for the next steps of the project.

Day 2 & Day 3 - April 25 & 26: SUSTAIN-ABLE? Conference

The grand finale of the Creative Europe Alter-Places project, an event envisioned as a critical celebration of Alternative Cultural Places (ACPs) bringing together diverse voices to explore ACPs’ sustainability issues, ecological transition and their role in building resilient and creative urban environments. The 2nd and 3rd journey featured an eclectic mix of key notes, workshops, performances, sensible restitution, prototype testing and dj sets - all grounded in the findings of an 18-months European project mixing research and uniting ACPs across Europe.
