Idea not chosen
What should be created?
In the middle of Wiedikon, a lively, open space for encounters, creativity and joint action is being created. We are creating a cross-generational, low-threshold place that brings people together regardless of age, origin or reality of life and enables concrete contributions to a climate-friendly, solidarity-based neighbourhood. The space is a multifunctional non-profit place, usable as a neighbourhood meeting place, creative space and workshop, youth and meeting place as well as café and discussion room. The furnishings consistently follow sustainable principles: second-hand, repaired, upcycled and versatile. It will be designed and further developed in a participatory manner with the neighbourhood population. Ideas emerge from the neighbourhood, residents become co-creators, through their own offers, co-organisation or presence. The focus is on formats that strengthen relationships and promote joint action. The place is not consumer-oriented, but activating and makes sustainability tangible in everyday life. Possible offers: • Creativity and crafts: sewing, knitting and painting courses, repair workshops, upcycling • Culture and encounters: readings, reading cafés, "reading raves", concerts, dance • Exchange and reflection: discussion circles, parent counselling, intergenerational dialogues • Mindfulness and health: yoga, meditation, mobile-free times • Sharing and exchanging: clothes swap, repair cafés, equipment rental • Games and community: game evenings, open meeting formats The initiators act as hosts, networkers and facilitators: they curate the programme, connect people and initiatives and coordinate communication, cooperation and work with the authorities. At the same time, they create an inviting atmosphere and accompany participatory processes. The space makes a concrete contribution to sustainable neighbourhood development by promoting resource conservation, strengthening social cohesion, making climate-friendly lifestyles visible and activating the population to help shape a sustainable city.
