An unmissable resource centre of cultural and artistic innovation in Europe, Banlieues d'Europe brings together 300 international active partners and 4000 contacts in Europe. The network is constituted of cultural actors, artists, militants, social workers, local councillors and researchers. Their joint objective is to exchange practices and information and to get away from isolation in order to valorise cultural action projects in deprived neighbourhoods with excluded communities.
For this 2009 meetings 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:
1. Alternative Spaces: (Re)-Appropriation of public, urban and virtual spaces, cultural
and artistic venues
2. Alternative and Solidarity Education: Meeting between those who cope with the
failure of the system and those who construct an alternative
3. Cultural and Social Economy: Socio-professional and urban development insertion
