The event kicked off with a brief presentation of the CrAft project, followed by a series of PechaKucha case study presentations from cities such as Izmir, Munchen, Leeuwarden, Bruges and the European Network of Living Labs. The day continued with the introduction of the NEB Alliance, a cross-cutting initiative across EU Missions aiming to harvest, scale and replicate the NEB efforts.
The second day of the event focused on three main topics: the NEB Impact Model, practices of Intergenerational Learnings and the Role of Arts and Culture in Urban Development Governance. Participants engaged in a gamified approach to explore these topics. In the afternoon, the focus shifted to Sluisbuurt, a neighbourhood undergoing significant redevelopment, with a particular emphasis on the pivotal role of Arts and Culture in Urban Development.
The final day of the event brought at the table the first edition of the CrAFt Cookbook – a collection of easy and adjustable recipes for integrating the values of inclusiveness, beauty and sustainability in urban plans and partnerships, with a strong focus on actionability.
Our project partner Loredana Stasisin from Living Future Europe had the chance to represent Eyes Hearts Hands, thus contributing with valuable insights during this event.
