From Project to Infrastructure—How Places of Urban Practice Become Permanent

What will remain of your space once funding ends?

This workshop introduces the spectrum of the social solidarity economy, presents its principles, and uses Kreisler e.V. in Gropiusstadt as an example to demonstrate how community-supported economic activity (Community Supported Everything, CSX) works in practice in the operation of a space. It also addresses the question of how the public sector, together with civil society, can secure spaces for the common good and urban practice in the long term—and what role civic and common-public partnerships play in this effort.

Input: Cléo Mieulet is a social innovator with expertise in community organizing, communication, and concept development. As a co-founder and board member of the cooperative Kreisler e.V., a repair and lending shop in Berlin, she is currently expanding the model into a social franchise so that neighborhoods everywhere can have their own Kreisler. She is active in the Cooperative Economy Network, RIPESS Europe, and the CSX Network.
