The Commons in Practice project, with main goal of ushering in a new way of approaching the topic of Urban Commons in Durrës Municipality has reached a successful conclusion.
Due to travel restriction and limitations posed by the current pandemic, the project had to be moved online. Eutropian experts provided a transfer of know-how and good practices with public authorities and other relevant local stakeholders such as scholars, communities and local businesses. Project experts presented best-practice examples of Urban Commons use around Europe and proposed alternative solutions on how urban-civic partnerships can be built to last.
Eutropian’s gamification experts developed a customized virtual board game in which local stakeholders, as well as participants from Eutropian took part. The objective of the game was inspired by the existing commons options in Durrës: to transform a fictitious empty factory building into a community space through community participation.
The game was developed based on a four step process: empathise, design, cooperate and advocate.
