The main goal of the project is the creation of green and communal-used spaces in the context of a typical greek “πολυκατοικία” (apartment building), exploiting the unused common-shared spaces as a field of community building and development of creative activities. The project's team - divided into two parts (a.Education/Animation, b.Technical) - will empower the Commons In Residency Community, educating them in order to adopt an eco-friendly lifestyle and act as multipliers to achieve the goals of the project. Commons in Residency will also work experimentally to solve the problematic relationship and connection of Greek society with the public space, using participatory tools and cultural events.

The projects aims at research and in particular at collecting sociocultural stories from the active neighborhood of Viertel, and also at documeting ecological projects that have been realized by the Öko-department of Kulturzentrum Lagerhaus. The main purpose of that small-scale project was to better understand the bottom up sociocultural practices in Germany and how this movement flourished through the years. Nine different eco-projects are also mentioned as good practices that could be transferred into the Greek urban context. The final outcome of that effort was the production of an Eco-friendly brochure written in Greek, that is going to be printed out in Thessaloniki, Greece in order to inform and motivate young people about ecology and bottom up sociocultural activities. That brochure is supposed to inspire curiosity about ecological practices in Germany, more specifically Bremen, as a preparation for a future exchange program.
