We are living environment

Space has become a scarce commodity. A third of the surface in Flanders is already taken up, 6 hectares are added every day. Moreover, 16% of the total surface is paved. How can we look at our neighborhood with different eyes? Whose space does it belong to? How can we make it more beautiful, healthier and climate-friendly? 'We are Space' wants to provide schools and neighborhood groups with tools to get started with these questions, through teaching and work packages that we will develop participatively through 5 pilot projects. What? 5 local collaborations (local government, elementary school and community group) for the participatory development of a teaching and work package 5 concrete and feasible plans for an action in the municipality or city, from greener and shared playgrounds and vegetable gardens to car-free school streets and who knows ... Gather insights on the impact of our workshops, brainstorming sessions and methodologies on participant engagement and neighborhood support around sustainable use of space
