Meeting Point: Tallinn University – BFM Court Yard

11:00 Excursion: 10 years of participatory activism in the post-Soviet panel district of Lasnamäe (Tallinn)
We invite you to take part in a walk in the Lasnamäe district, the largest “sleeping district” in the Baltic countries (120,000 inhabitants) with different and sometimes profoundly difficult post-soviet issues. During the walk, we will talk about our experience of activism, which is often related with the questions of urban planning and transformation of open space by the forces of the residents of the district themselves. It is always important to talk about context, if we speak of some individual initiatives, so we propose to look at both the district itself and the places that we have changed and continue to change. Our association of active residents of the district is called “Lasnaidea” and has existed for 10 years (started in autumn 2014). During this time, we conducted many events and spatial interventions, trying to change (often successfully) both the urban environment itself and the image of the district. We tested different methods of involving residents of the district (street art, excursions, community gardening, open-air cinema, etc.), which showed different effectiveness. During the walk, we will discuss which of these methods we continue to use, and which we have abandoned.

This event is financially supported by the Tallinn University School of Humanities and CARIN-PT project funded by JPI Urban Europe research and innovation program under grant agreement No 101003758
