IDEAS YARDS

27th April – 25th May 2017

The name of this year’s event, the Ideas Yards, originated from the concept of a European project in which BINA and its eleven partners will participate over the next 4 years – Shared Cities: Creative Momentum – which is based on the concept of a “yard” that is, basically a common, public space in which ideas about the city and urban spaces arise and are shared to suit the users. By creating ideas and programs in public urban spaces, social innovations are encouraged from creative sectors, which include the participatory processes of urban design.

Public gatherings and creative exchanges of participants of the SCCM program through which the joint program framework was realized were held in IDEAS YARDS organized in 6 cities – in Berlin, Prague, Bratislava, Katowice, Budapest and Belgrade (through the BINA event). Partner organizations, through cooperation with the BINA team, held workshops, lectures, discussions while proposing new methods for developing participatory processes that are foreseen by the SCCM program.
