Two complementary pilot activities in Milan and Barcelona will cocreate new objects through a Neighbourhood Participatory Approach supported by Collaborative Digital tools.
A 10-day event focused on material recycling and reprocessing will take place in spring 2026 in Barcelona. At the heart of the event will be a mobile plant housed on a truck, stationed in the city and open to all stakeholders.
- Experts will offer knowledge-sharing sessions and training opportunities.
- Citizens will be invited to share their needs and expectations.
- Artists will participate in artistic residencies, contributing creative solutions inspired by art and culture—going beyond mere functionality.
- Urban Factories will join the initiative through a Cascade Funding mechanism.
Together, these activities aim to co-create active urban ecosystems that support the circular economy in Europe.
