A central food hall has been created and mix cooking, productive and food-services activities: A “ Community kitchen” inviting neighbourhood inhabitants to join workshops and events; a professional kitchen hosting an Incubator to food projects and solidary caterer for skills development; a food Court to meet and gather around sustainable local meals and festivals; an urban farm combining training for agricultural job and pedagogy for citizens.

The project was managed via a collective governance model involving all the partners. The design of the future Food hall was co-created with the local residents and participants to the activities.

The results of the first 2 years of the project (from sept 2017 to June 2019), located at L’Avant-Goût, are: 15 000 users of the site; 23 events for the general public; 120 000 visitors during the summer; 500 cooking workshops; more than 100 partners involved.

We aim to raise awareness of the significance of cultural heritage for the quality of life through initiatives such as heritage walks, conferences, studies and research, training activities.

In particular, we intend to realize one of the founding assumptions of the Convention, which states that the cultural significance of buildings, public spaces and historical monuments, defining the territory on which the inhabitants develop relationships, habits, lifestyles, goes beyond the specific historical and artistic as recognizable elements of values, beliefs, imagination and therefore the identity of a community.”

> They can work with Community Fundations, high school. 

> Temporary events they would organize foster collaboration between private, public, and civic groups. Their goal is Co-Governance 

> they managed to make families participating 

> MKBT is a company/NGO 

>They do training 

A3_1 Small scale and Shared governance (moderate) 

Local municipalities as Fagaras sometimes have a limited interest in these processes, they don’t want to give much time for engagement. 

> they do advocay a lot concerning informal housing (they definitely tackle urban poverty) 

> In Fagaras, MKBT convinced the municipality to form local action group against poverty, which would help for strategies of urban regeneration, help with finding funds… 

> get regional grants 

B1 Co-design (weak). The enabling state is a state that uses co-design as a tool for decision making and planning and hires service designers or design thinkers; 

> collective use of underused spaces 

C2b “commoning economy” (strong) 

> They organized temporary events to get the community involved 

> they try to be recognised and fostered in the long term with protocol. + get inspiration from other protocols, especially the LabGov one. However, they are not that connected with other similar projects in Romania bc they are rare. 

> Their actions depend of each context, of each public actors’ dynamic 

> train people to different type of jobs linked to climate justice. 

It seems that connection at a regional/national/international level with similar projects is undergoing, so this features might, more than others, change in the future. 

D1 [experimentalist] methodology & D2 adaptive (moderate)  

> virtual museum 

> The interviewed hasn’t told about the website, really well developed.  

> however, communities they are working with do not use technology that much, so it’s not the most relevant tool. 

> they do not use technology as a tool against urban poverty and do not form people about it, that’s why the interviewed seems mitigated. 

E1 Tech Equality (weak). 

1)    Active citizens, commoners, social innovators, city makers, local communities. This dimension is surely completed, since the project has been created by two people from the local ground and has the ambition to integrate people as much as possible in its realizations.

2)    Public authorities: Here we can underline the support of Minister of Culture, local cultural centers, the Regional Council of Human rights in Casablanca, several universities.

3)    Private actors (national or local businesses; small and medium enterprises; social business): The Atelier de l’Observatoire has reached agreements with foundations in the private sector such as the swiss Drosos (…)[2] or the Arab fund for Arts and Culture (AFAC).

4)    Civil society organizations and NGOs: The Atelier de l’Observatoire has a strong network with other civil society organizations, weather informal or formal agreement.

5)    Knowledge institutions. ONU, European Union… Those well-known institutions are also supporting different projects of the Atelier de l’Observatoire.

Then we can analyse that this dependent variable is very strong, since all actors are united together around the Atelier de l’Observatoire, even if scales, amounts, time spent can be very different from one another.
