Curious About… Taking back society How to create lasting change (together)
Power to the people? Absolutely! Active citizenship, community spirit – it’s all the rage.
People are ready for change and want to have a say in the things that matter to them. The great challenges of our time require big solutions and we want to be part of that.
We are increasingly achieving this together, off the beaten track, in innovative organizational forms, or on our own initiative – no longer on the sidelines, but right in the middle of the playing field. From creating your own dream home together to testing our collective ability to share – meet the doers and makers who are taking back society to help the world move forward.

12.30: Opening performance & plenary workshop
13:15: Route through A Lab with all kinds of ‘Taking back society’ expos, demos and workshops

What can you expect?
We dive into new organizational forms, new forms of housing, new forms of care and new nature. There are success stories and bumps in the road. We unravel how money influences our society, gain insight and tools to realize our ideals, we learn how an initiative is not taken over by capital… And much more.
