Book Release – Community Lover’s Guide to Berlin , Wo: PRINZESSINNENGARTEN, Prinzesinnenstrasse 15,U-Bahn Moritzplatz
Community Lover’s Guide to Berlin ist eben erschienen und beschreibt über die ganze Stadt verteilte Initiativen, die sich dem Community-Gedanken verpflichtet fühlen. Das Buch ist ein Manifest für die Idee des ’Do It Together’ (DIT) und zeigt die Bandbreite der bereits Aktiven und Macher in Berlin. Es setzt die internationale Buchreihe ’Community Lover’s to the Universe’ fort – Geschichten aus über 50 Städten weltweit, die zeigen, wie aktive Bewohner gemeinsam mit sozialen Entrepreneuren auf unterschiedlichste Weise ihre Städte zu „blühenden Landschaften“ machen.
Unser Buch sammelt 17 Initiativen aus Berlin, die über ihre Erfahrungen, Erfolge, aber auch ihr Scheitern selbst berichten. Zum Beispiel Trial & Error, Rütli-wear, Ula Umsonstladen, ufaFabrik, Gartenstudio, Prinzessinengärten und Frauenzentrum Schokoladenfabrik, sie alle stehen für Konzepte des Re-cycling, Up-cycling‚ ’sich Entwickeln’ oder ’Einfach Tun’. Wundervolle und bizarre Ideen sind dabei, ein Kinder-Zirkus oder Tomaten, die in portablen Säcken wachsen, die Gründung einer Schüler – Modemarke und verschiedene Gemeinschafts-Wohnprojekte. Jede Geschichte bezieht sich in spezieller Weise auf das wertvolle Erbe des ’Berliner Kiez’ von Nachbarschaft und Gemeinschaft. Berlin präsentiert sich als Stadt der Vielfalt und Kreativität, wo alle möglichen Leute ihr Wissen, Zeit und Raum teilen, um eine bessere Umwelt für jeden zu schaffen.

Book Launch – Community Lover’s Guide to Berlin
Where: tbc
The Community Lover’s Guide to Berlin is a book showcasing community initiatives in the city, which has just been completed! The book is a manifesto for the power of Do It Together (DIT), by showing the breadth of initiatives already active and ‘doing’ community in Berlin. The book is one element of an international series: The Community Lover’s Guide to the Universe. Our book is a collection of 17 chapters, each written by the initiatives themselves, sharing their experiences, successes and failures with the reader. To name just a few: Trial & Error, Rütli-wear, Ula Umsonstladen, UfaFabrik, Gartenstudio, Prinzessinengärten and Schokoladenfabrik. The initiatives promote ideas of recycling, up-cycling, growing and making. There are weird and wonderful ideas to be shared: a kids circus, tomatoes growing in movable sacs, school children running a fashion label and communal housing projects. In each chapter the idea of the Berliner ‘Kiez’ (neighbourhood/community) and its inherent value is present. The aim of the book is to show that Berlin is a diverse city, where all sorts of people share knowledge, time and space to create a better environment for everyone.
Three days refusing the new European normality! 6 years into the financial crisis, Europe is closer and closer to being a post-democracy, in which even imagining progressive alternatives becomes more and more difficult.
Closing TRANSEUROPA festival 2013 throughout Europe, this forum is a call to enact a different Europe from the bottom up through a radicalised form of citizenship. From art interventions to the elaboration of a citizens’ manifesto and deciding on common actions for the coming months, we create a space to Imagine, Demand and Enact an alternative Europe.
