Workshop: Office for urban cross-sectional tasks
Together with already established intermediary examples, Runder Tisch Liegenschaften and IniForum, the Initiative Urbane Praxis is organising a workshop about
In the framework of the FreiRaumkonferenz and of StadtWERKSTATT, we, Initiative Urbane Praxis, organise on
18 August from 12.00-15.00 at the Dragoner area in the Adlerhalle (Eagle hall) (Obentrautstr. 19-21, at the Dragoner area/Rathausblock, behind the Finanzamt Kreuzberg, 10963 Berlin-Kreuzberg)
the workshop: Office for urban cross-sectional tasks.
In the workshop, we will discuss the structure, profile and connection of a new office for urban cross-sectional tasks together with the Initiative Stadt NeuDenken, the Runder Tisch Liegenschaftspolitik and the Initiativen Forum as well as representatives of already established intermediary structures from Berlin (AKS Gemeinwohl), guests from other cities (Zwischen Zeit Zentrale Bremen) as well as representatives of the Berlin administration and researchers (BBSR). It is intended to drive the opening up and use of city/space reserves for cultural participation, arts and socio-culture and to promote lively structural changes. This means: mediating, bundling knowledge, taking up interdepartmental city topics, securing existing places and creating space for cooperative, non-commercial and interdisciplinary urban culture + urban development.
Together we address these questions in the workshop. What are the needs of the practitioners and the administration? How can the office cooperate with the administration and city makers as an agile, creative interface in public welfare-oriented urban production? How can existing structures be used or synergies be created without setting up costly new structures? How can interdepartmental cooperation in the administration and in the exchange with the office be designed?
The first part of the workshop (12:00-13:45) is open to all interested parties with various inputs from the field and will be streamed from the Adlerhalle at the Dragoner area.
In the second part (14:00-15:00), there will be various work tables live on site where participants can get actively involved.
