Co-Making Matters: Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration and Commons-Based Learning in Urban Environments

  • Europe

Co-Making Matters is a multidisciplinary platform at Haus der Statistik, Berlin, that aims to foster collaborations and partnerships among practitioners from different fields. The project offers a space for exhibitions, discussions, and hybrid events and operates across multiple segments, including making, collaborating, hosting, and linking. Co-Making Matters provides a supportive environment for site-specific projects and temporary interventions, with the goal of creating long-lasting partnerships. The platform is designed to promote cross-disciplinary thinking and encourages open communication, exchange, and learning.

Together with the School of Commons and the Cohort 2024, Co-Making Matters aims to investigate how commons-based learning principles and methodologies can enhance cross-disciplinary cooperation in urban environments, fostering creativity and shared knowledge. Through collaborations, Co-Making Matters intends to explore how temporary interventions and site-specific projects can create a sense of community and facilitate knowledge-sharing in diverse urban landscapes, with a focus on inclusivity.

Initially we plan:

Collaborative Workshops: Conduct hands-on, collaborative workshops that engage participants in cross-disciplinary activities. These sessions will provide practical insights into the implementation of commons-based learning principles in urban settings.

Participatory Mapping: Utilize participatory mapping techniques to document urban spaces and collaborative initiatives. This method aims to identify patterns and opportunities for knowledge-sharing, emphasizing the unique characteristics of different urban landscapes.

Distributing the existing knowledge in different platforms: Implement online tools to facilitate global participation and collaboration. By overcoming geographical constraints, virtual platforms will enhance the accessibility of our initiatives, fostering a diverse and inclusive community.
