Project Presentations: Social Sustainability | Aequa, Lobe Block & Torhaus

Each speaker will share their project’s current state, learnings, needs, resources and strategies. Following the month's focus theme, we asked them to reflect on “social sustainability” within their projects: Where are they at socially? What did they learn from the pandemic about social sustainability? How can we step up our social actions to combat climate change and accelerate positive transformation?

• Lobe Block: The challenges of running a building and developing a new food space that seeks to be more socially connected and looks towards helping tackle climate issues.
• Aequa: How we are using mutual support and solidarity to build a world where everyone has a chance to thrive.
• Torhaus: Torhaus was supposed to stand for a way of collective self-organizing that could be the starting point for new collective spaces in the airport: Where does this project stand now?

We’re looking forward to reconnecting, reflecting on and sharing our experiences and strategies.

Emergent Berlin 2021 - An event series by and for local projects.

Every Tuesday night in the second half of 2021, this year’s EMB provides a platform for people and places to reconnect, reflect on and share our collective and individual experiences and strategies.

Theme 2021: “Rising to meet the crises.” As we gradually emerge from the pandemic in Berlin, the climate catastrophe is knocking at our doorstep. We need to act with a sense of urgency. We invite fellow social-ecological projects and people who want to take action to reconnect, reflect on and share our collective and individual experiences and strategies. Where are we at? What can we learn from the pandemic? How can we step up to the evermore urgent climate and sustainability crises now?

Each month, we shift our focus on another aspect of taking action for transformation: personal, ecological, aesthetic, cultural, economic and social.
