L'économie circulaire
et la nouvelle économie des plastiques
Into the urban wild !
Collect new ideas and insights during learning expedition to "la friche" - abandoned urban spots - of Paris.
on demand (20 participants max)
"La Friche" embodies a certain idea of change, it illustrates the concept of openness and human relations, as well as a desire to slow down in the face of technological progress. Today, the occupation of "friche" is a very popular subject, however, it also raises a fierce criticism among working-class neighbourhoods and transitional urban development activists.
What are the social, economic and environmental impacts of transitional urban development? How to involve neighbourhoods and users? How to lead a dialogue between owners and public authorities? What is the most promising business model?
During this Learning Expedition, there will be guided tours and conversations with committed project leaders, experts, entrepreneurs, journalists, public decision-makers and urban development professionals who will share with us their story of successes, difficulties they have encountered and convictions they have gained.
LE G.A.N.G
A meeting with a group of activists called Neo Green (Le G.A.N.G) at La Base - a newly-built coworking space for the NGO to work during the period from June to October - located in Rue Bichat (11ème). They are engaged in favour of culture and environment in a fun and inclusive way.

Le Post
Le Post brings together 70 artists in a squat: plastic artists, video artists, tattoo artists, performers, musicians and photographers who share different floors. Together they occupy an office building in the 9th arrondissement. After renovation and restoration work, the place opened its doors in March and invites everyone to discover all shades of modern art. (image : Eric Le Mitouard - Le Parisien)
La friche Etex : less is more
Next stop is at the Cemetery behind the Montmartre (21 rue Etex, 75018). At first, there was a block of flats later on it turned into a cinema then the ateliers and after that, it was abandoned by everyone. Today it's a short-lived artistic garden with 822m2 surface filled with wild grass. What`s going to be next: a new block of flats and a nursery school? And who knows what will be after that?

L'Orfèvrerie
A tour to Saint-Denis to see a former jewellery factory that soon will be reconstructed. The project of temporary reconstruction of this jewel of industrial architecture will take place in autumn 2018 till summer 2020. The former factory area is turning into a residence for artists, designers, craftsmen, entrepreneurs and inventors to increase the number of creative places in "Grand Paris" and to enrich the spirit of artistic experimentation. Thirty entities were already set up when the Soukmachine team came and took around 3000 square meters to build thirty more additional structures in this "town" of brick warehouses.
