Actors of Urban Change Kick-Off Meeting 2nd Generation, Berlin
Finally all ten new Actors teams met in Berlin! In December 2015 the 30 new participants not only presented their projects but also rolled up their sleeves to further develop and refine them. For this process, the peer-learning approach and feedback by other colleagues was helpful, quite like inputs by Andreas Knoth (socius gGmbH) and Ania Rok (ICLEI). Loukas Bartatilas and Stelios Voulgaris, two alumni from team Athens, shared some retrospectives about their Actors project. Moreover, a field trip in Berlin touched upon various urban development issues, with stop overs in the housing estate Märkisches Viertel, at the press conference about development plans for the House of Statistics, at the co-housing project Spreefeld as well as at the Center for Art and Urbanistics (ZK/U), an Actors alumni project. Thanks again to the teams from Bologna, Budapest, Cluj-Napoca, Geretsried, Istanbul, Krasnoyarsk, Messolonghi, Novi Sad, Porto and Skopje - your combination of projects, places and people promises another exciting year and a half!
