How to turn your visions for your city into actions and engage communities?
Mindspaceis a grassroots urban regeneration platform working from the Rákóczi Square Market Hall and expanding its activities across the neighborhood.Deviszontis a new community space for teenagers located in the periphery of Budapest. Their stories are inspirational: How did they begin their journeys? Which obstacles have they had to overcome? and what is their vision for the future of their cities?
"...we were passionate about the idea of creating a livable city." Ádám Kobrizsa
Successfully establishing a non-profit organization in Budapest, the team is devoted to improving the quality of urban life while developing their project as a sustainable business model.
Deviszont is a word game, humorously combining the two almost synonymous conjunctions of "but" and "although". The team focuses its efforts on rethinking the approach to traditional education in Hungary: instead of separating people with different backgrounds and disadvantages, they include all parts of society in their diverse program. They operate a community space for non-formal education in the suburbs of Budapest. Péter Susánszky explains who they cooperate with, and how they would like to continue with their community work.
