ACElab

Alpine Community Economies Lab (ACElab) uses participatory and design thinking methods to support alpine communities in addressing cross-cutting concerns of sustainable socio-economic development outlined in the EU Strategy for the Alpine Region and the Alpine Convention. Via a gender-sensitive community-based research space in Rovereto (Trentino/Italy), a diversity of civic actors and policy makers will be engaged in the collaborative investigation of (trans)local economies (e.g. forestry, tourism, crafts) sustaining their valley district. Together developments that have both people and the environment at their core will be envisioned. To do so, expertise in design-led civic participation and feminist economic geography and the expertise in regional development and participatory governance of the Host (Centre for Advanced Studies) and Secondment institution (Habitat Unit, TU Berlin) will be mobilised. Together a multifaceted community economies toolkit will be prototyped, tested and refined to be released via open-access.
