"Creativity and innovation in European towns - Cultural Alternatives, New Social Solidarity"

26.11.09 – 28.11.2009
Banlieues d'Europe is pursuing its work of identification of artistic projects and reflection on cultural, social and economic alternatives. At this time of economic crisis, it is urgent to put into perspective alternative projects in town neighbourhoods, with the wide-ranging help of artists, inhabitants, researchers, local councillors, town developers, and economists from different backgrounds in France, Belgium, Germany, Romania, Great Britain and Italy.

During three days, plenary sessions, simultaneous workshops and debates will take place, centred on three principal themes developed by artistic and cultural project carriers:

- Alternative Spaces: (Re)-Appropriation of public, urban and virtual spaces, cultural and artistic venues

- Alternative and Solidarity Education: Meeting between those who cope with the failure of the system and those who construct an alternative

- Cultural and Social Economy: Socio-professional and urban development insertion lever.

This meeting will give the opportunity to discover new projects and local cultural venues in Brussels as well as in Liege.

To receive the programme, please send us an e-mail to banlieues.deurope@wanadoo.fr.

This meeting is supported among others by Directorate General of Education and Culture of the European Commission.
