All across Europe, citizens (including those who are not formally
recognised as such) are realising they are not alone and are organising
their communities. They are creating new online and offline spaces where
working together and generating solidarity is what matters. In these
spaces culture functions as a language to describe reality, to express
feelings and opinions. Culture works to strengthen social ties and helps
to imagine alternative ways of living and engaging with others in
understanding, trust and peace. Connecting these spaces will provide a
crucial infrastructure for a cultural movement that can reclaim European
democracy.

Culture Lab Europe has been set up as a live platform to strengthen this
movement. Cultural activists and mediators will establish connections with
colleagues from across Europe and work on common initiatives that can
strengthen European Public Space. Culture Lab Europe provides a safe and
inspirational working environment based on principles of free and open
culture.

Culture lab Europe is part of the project Culture for Solidarity, a
2.5-year artistic investigation into the root causes of fragmentation in
Europe.  It is co-funded by the European Commission’s Creative Europe
programme. The aim is to encourage greater solidarity, by highlighting
cultural practices that bring unusual groups of people together,
connecting these practices and scaling them across the continent.
