" Volunteer in third spaces around the word
to create sustainable cities and communities ”
THIRD SPACE... sORRY WHAT ?!
YOU’VE PROBABLY BEEN IN ONE OR AT LEAST HEARD OF ONE. WE CALL THEM
COWORKING SPACES, FABLABS …
​
A MORE GENERAL DEFINITION
OF WHAT WE CALL A THIRD SPACE COULD BE:
"A SPACE WHERE YOU CAN GO EVERY DAY IF YOU WISH SO,
YOU CAN BE A « SIMPLE USER »
ENJOYING THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE COMMUNITY OF THE SPACE .
BUT IN A THIRD SPACE YOU CAN ALSO, IF YOU WISH, CONTRIBUTE TO IMPROVE & DEVELOP THE EXISTING SERVICES AND EVEN CREATE NEW ONES
BY WORKING WITH THE COMMUNITY, GIVING TIME AND / OR KNOWLEDGE
IN THIS CASE YOU BECOME AN « ACTIVE MEMBER »
OF THE COMMUNITY OF THE THIRD SPACE ."
WE CONSIDER THIRD SPACES AS NEW TOOLS FOR CIVIL SOCIETY, DEMOCRACY, CIVIC INVOLVMENT TO REINVENT FORMS OF "LIVING TOGETHER"
