As part of this event, TU Graz invites 8 speakers, and among them Oscar Bellier from Communa who will speak about "Temporary Occupation for Social Purposes: Going For Commons"

Communa ASBL, a temporary occupation organisation for social purposes, occupies empty buildings in Brussels (Belgium) and transforms them into living spaces. They create temporary places for a more affordable, more democratic, more resilient and more creative territories. Operating since 2013, they now support other structures in setting up transitional projects. Oscar Bellier is putting Communa ASBL's know-how to work for other entities, so that their model can spread far and wide.
