This handbook is a result of the Erasmus plus project EduCity. It is directed at practitioners, educators, civil servants and engaged citizens who are active in processes of social inclusion and community empowerment in urban contexts. It aims at providing ideas and tools to exploit the neighbourhood as an active site for mutual learning, innovation and capacity building.

The Erasmus+ project Edu-City aims at promoting field educational experiences with a specific attention at deprived urban contexts where fragile adults are excluded from opportunities of inclusion, participation, learning and local resources valorisation. Tesserae contributes by coordinating the production of the handbook, providing specific training on participative methodologies, testing the the application of the method in the local lab in Berlin and organising ther final international conference.

UrbEX is an Erasmus plus project aimed at developing urban exploration as tool to engage and empower youths at risk of exclusion. Tesserae is lead partner and coordinator in the project, managing the partnership between five organisations in five different EU countries.
We are delivering the URBEX handbook of Urban Exploration and testing the handbook’s methodologies in Berlin within local labs. Finally in September 2023 we will also be organising the project’s final international conference.
