Designing Participatory Spaces

Innovation in Placemaking and Capacity Building.

Designing Participatory Spaces is a collaborative project between STPLN (Sweden) and Ankara Aks (Türkiye) focused on empowering cultural and creative professionals to drive societal change. By fostering innovation in placemaking, design, and artistic expression, the project will build capacity in both Sweden and Türkiye to strengthen democratic engagement, freedom of expression, and social responsibility. Through workshops, collaborative projects, and cross-cultural exchange, the initiative aims to equip participants with the tools and knowledge to advocate for sustainability, bridge social divides, and promote inclusive community development. This project is vital for inspiring positive, lasting transformation in both local and global contexts.

At a time when many individuals feel disconnected from decision-making processes that shape their lives, the project investigates how artistic participation can create meaningful spaces for agency, and collective imagination.
