edu-city conference

The EduCity conference looks at the potential of neighbourhoods as spaces for social engagement. It will present ideas and tools to explore the neighbourhood as an active site for mutual learning, innovation and capacity building. EduCity has a multidisciplinary and inclusive ambition and is open to researchers, practitioners, educators, civil servants and engaged citizens active in processes of social inclusion and community empowerment. The objective is to connect and provide tools to organisations and individuals who share an interest in the potential of neighbourhoods as learning environments.

Impossible Complicities

(Im)possible Complicities conference looked for ideas that come from practice and concrete engagement in distressed territorial contexts. We discussed the potential and pitfalls of co-creative projects with activists, artists and academics who share a constructive as much as critical view on the topic.

Tesserae Dialogues

To celebrate ten years of Tesserae, and to look forward into the next decade of our work, we launched the “Tesserae Dialogues”. From December 2021, Tesserae hosted a series of monthly online conversations with activists, researchers and policy experts who have served as essential reference points for our work. Together, we discussed the state of international urban policies and politics exploring some projects, ideas and works that have marked Tesserae’s ten year journey.
