Organiser: Ro3kvit - Urban Coalition for Ukraine

Format: online

Join an open lecture within the framework of the Communities at the Heart of Urban Changes project, where Ukrainian communities collaborate with Dutch partners to explore new approaches to urban planning.

At the halfway point of the project, Ro3kvit’s partners will share their experience and practical tools that may be relevant for Ukraine:

• Ekim Tan (Play the City) – on the role of serious gaming in planning.

• Olga Sowa (STIPO) – on placemaking as a way to engage communities.

• Randy Bloem and Stefanos Filippas (INBO) – on the power of storytelling, architectural narrative, and effective communication in working with communities.

After the short presentations, there will be space for questions and discussion.
