EUROPE LEARNING CAFÉ & LAB
What’s in Europe for us, for you today? Between 22 and 26 September 2025 C*SPACE transfers into a Europe Learning Café, a ‘campus’ for exploring Europe and the European cultural, creative, political and innovation context. In a café house style setting, we invite open, participatory dialogues on European values, democracy, and cultural diversity, while critically reflecting on colonial histories and uneven privileges.
Who should join? Everyone with a curious mind and interest in Europe: social entrepreneurs, creatives, civil society actors, students, neighbors, and migrant communities in Pankow. The Europe Learning Café will be conducted in multiple languages.
Why join? The project offers both foundational knowledge about Europe and practical and creative skills in participation and co-creation, and new networks. Certificates of participation will be issued on demand.
The learning program is organised by C*SPACE Berlin and supported by the Berlin Senate Chancellery, Department for European Affairs.
Stundenplan
1 – COMPREHEND: UNDERSTANDING EUROPE
- 16:00 - 20:00
- The first day of the forum opens up several themes in connection with the European knowledge and frameworks. There will be parallel sessions on philosophy and innovation policies, as well as European history and migration. The sessions will not only provide an overview but also invite you to shape your own opinion and get involved practically.
2 – CO-CREATE: SHAPING EUROPE TOGETHER
- 16:00 - 20:00
- Do you have an idea for a European project and need feedback, support, or like-minded collaborators? Are you looking to make the most of upcoming calls like Erasmus+ or the New European Bauhaus to bring your idea to life? Maybe you would rather join someone else’s initiative, or simply experience the power of co-creation in action and learn the latest methodologies? Whatever your starting point, you are warmly invited to our Open Co-Creation Day! A space to connect, create, and move from ideas to concepts paving the way to action. For those who have joined the Part I of the Learning Cafe and want to look deeper as well as open to new guests.
Neuer Tag3 – CRAFT, SPEAK, CELEBRATE – EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES
- 16:00 - 21:00
- September 26th is the European Day of Languages. On the third day of our European Learning Café & Lab, we invite you to celebrate the rich diversity of European languages in creative and engaging ways. From craft workshops exploring non-verbal communication, to a playful linguistic dinner, and the co-creation of a unique European Language & Type Wall in collaboration with the UDK Typo Lab, this final day promises both inspiration and joy, along with new skills to take away. Open to new guests as well as those who joined Part I and Part II.
