A Camerados Public Living Room is best understood not as a service or programme, but as a simple, human space designed for connection.

At its core, it’s an open, welcoming environment where anyone can come and just be alongside other people—whether they’re having a good day or a difficult one. There’s no need to book, no criteria to meet, and no expectation placed on anyone who walks in.

What makes it distinctive is its lack of agenda. Unlike many public spaces, it isn’t there to sell something or to “fix” people. Instead, it offers a rare kind of setting where individuals are not judged, analysed, or given solutions, but simply listened to and accepted as they are.

Physically, a Public Living Room often feels informal and homely—like a shared lounge. You might find sofas, a kettle on, simple activities, or just space to sit quietly. But the real focus isn’t the furniture; it’s the atmosphere. It’s about creating a place where strangers can feel comfortable enough to talk, connect, or sit in silence together.

Socially, it’s built on the idea that human connection itself is powerful. The people there—sometimes called “camerados”—are not professionals or helpers in the traditional sense. They are simply others who are willing to be alongside you, somewhere between a stranger and a friend, offering presence rather than solutions.

Overall, a Camerados Public Living Room is a “third kind” of public space:

not commercial (like a café where you’re expected to buy something),

not clinical or service-based (like a support centre),

but a shared, agenda-free place where people look out for each other.

The idea is simple but quite radical: by creating spaces where people can connect as equals, without pressure or purpose, communities can help each other get through life’s challenges in a more human way. https://camerados.org/
