Art has the ability to engage people in a way that few other things can. By its very nature, art is designed to provoke thought and feeling, to stimulate the senses and challenge the mind. Whether it is a painting, a sculpture, a song or a play, art engages us on a personal level, inviting us to explore our own reactions and responses. In a world that is often driven by division and conflict, art provides a powerful tool for bringing people together. Through its capacity for stirring emotion and sparking conversation, art can help us to connect with one another, to see the world from new perspectives and to build bridges of understanding. In a time when our need for human connection has never been greater, art remains a vital force for bringing us together.

Yesterday was the opening and the implementation of our fourth pillar in woujoud project: the interactive itinerary where artists, local community, partners and visitors met, interact and discover together the rich heritage of Tyre, lebanon.

This project is the fruit of collaborative and participatory workshop, Woujoud is a beautiful name reflecting the essence of this initiative where through art, creative process and collective intelligence we link people to place to heritage.

Boh Insaf "I am more and more convinced about the power of art and people to build, heal, and empower through the valorization of their heritage. This is something I have seen firsthand throughout my career.

When working with communities that have been through tough times – whether it be conflict, natural disasters, or economic hardship – I have seen how they can learn collectively to see and discover what could be the key elements for their progress and their rebuilding process as a community. Sometimes the most important thing for a community is to rebuild its emotional and social fabric. And art can play a big role in that.

Through art, people can tell their stories, share their experiences, and start to heal the emotional wounds of conflict. And when people feel heard and understood, they are more likely to come together and work for the common good.

So, I believe that the power of art and heritage can be a force for good in the world. It can help us to build strong communities, empower people, and create a better future for all of us. The local community was here for Woujoud's itinerary day opening, engaged to experience new ways of the outdoor exhibition. Simple yet extremely meaningful artworks that translate “weaving” the people together with local heritage. it is about rediscovering what has been hidden from view until now - our richly diverse cultural, heritage, and environmental heritage as an immersive experience across all five senses!

More stories to share, emotions to revisit and a journey to rediscover. As always. A big thanks to all our partners, artists, community, and teams who made this experience unforgettable."

انا مقتنعة أكثر فأكثر بقوة الفن والناس في البناء والشفاء والتمكين من خلال تثمين تراثهم. هذا شيء رأيته بنفسي طوال مسيرتي المهنية. عند العمل مع المجتمعات التي مرت بأوقات عصيبة - رأيت كيف يمكنهم التعلم بشكل جماعي لرؤية واكتشاف ما يمكن أن يكون العناصر الرئيسية لتقدمهم وعملية إعادة البناء الخاصة بهم تواصل اجتماعي.

غالبًا ما يكون هناك تركيز كبير على إعادة البناء المادي للبنية التحتية - وهو أمر مهم بشكل واضح. لكن في بعض الأحيان يكون أهم شيء بالنسبة للمجتمع هو إعادة بناء نسيجهم العاطفي والاجتماعي. ويمكن للفن أن يلعب دورًا كبيرًا في ذلك.

من خلال الفن ، يمكن للناس سرد قصصهم ومشاركة تجاربهم والبدء في مداواة الجروح العاطفية للنزاع. وعندما يشعر الناس بأنهم مسموعون ومفهومون ، فمن الأرجح أن يجتمعوا ويعملوا من أجل الصالح العام.

لذلك ، أعتقد أن قوة الفن والتراث يمكن أن تكون قوة تساعدنا في بناء مجتمعات قوية وتمكين الناس وخلق مستقبل أفضل لنا جميعًا.

كان المجتمع المحلي في الموعد لافتتاح يوم خط سير وجود ، لاكتشاف عمال فنية ذات مغزى كبير تترجم "نسج" الناس مع التراث المحلي في صور- لبنان ؛ يتعلق الأمر بإعادة اكتشاف ما كان مخفيًا عن الأنظار حتى الآن - تراثنا الثقافي والتراثي والبيئي المتنوع الغني كتجربة غامرة عبر الحواس الخمس!

Introduction to participatory design for 15 participants at Ithra academy, Al Khobar in Saudi Arabia. 

# data[].attributes.body
What an amazing experience at @Ithra !

The last week Boh Insaf moderated three days course / workshop: Introduction to participatory design for 15 participants at Ithra academy, Al Khobar in Saudi Arabia.

There are a plethora of design approaches to choose from. When working with other people, some designers prefer to work in a more conventional manner, while other like to collaborate with others. It is our firm belief that participatory design may provide a variety of advantages, especially when it comes to generating designs that are user-friendly and suit the needs of all stakeholders.

So, what does participatory design mean exactly? Everyone who has an interest in a design project participates in it in some way through a practice known as participatory design (PD). Everyone involved in the creation of the product, from users to developers to designers, is included. Improved designs are a result of the process. When users and the local community are included in the design process, the finished product is more likely to feel personal to them and be used in the way they intended. Consequently, they are more inclined to lend their support and help ensure that the final product is ecologically friendly and long-term viable.

Participatory design can aid in the creation of designs that are more culturally relevant: designs that are more likely to succeed in many cultures and circumstances.

As a result, a more user-friendly and effective design can be achieved.

‎هناك عدد كبير من أساليب التصميم للاختيار من بينها. عند العمل مع أشخاص آخرين ، يفضل بعض المصممين العمل بطريقة أكثر تقليدية ، بينما يحب البعض الآخر التعاون مع الآخرين. نعتقد اعتقادًا راسخًا أن التصميم التشاركي قد يوفر مجموعة متنوعة من المزايا ، خاصة عندما يتعلق الأمر بإنشاء تصميمات سهلة الاستخدام وتناسب احتياجات جميع أصحاب المصلحة.

‎إذن ، ماذا يعني التصميم التشاركي بالضبط؟ كل من لديه اهتمام بمشروع تصميم يشارك فيه بطريقة ما من خلال ممارسة تُعرف باسم التصميم التشاركي (PD). يتم تضمين كل من يشارك في إنشاء المنتج ، من المستخدمين إلى المطورين إلى المصممين. التصميمات المحسنة هي نتيجة لهذه العملية. عندما يتم تضمين المستخدمين والمجتمع المحلي في عملية التصميم ، فمن المرجح أن يشعر المنتج النهائي بأنه شخصي بالنسبة لهم ويتم استخدامه بالطريقة التي يقصدها. وبالتالي ، فهم يميلون أكثر إلى تقديم دعمهم والمساعدة في ضمان أن المنتج النهائي صديق للبيئة وقابل للتطبيق على المدى الطويل.

‎يمكن أن يساعد التصميم التشاركي في إنشاء تصميمات أكثر صلة بالثقافة: تصميمات من المرجح أن تنجح في العديد من الثقافات والظروف.

‎نتيجة لذلك ، يمكن تحقيق تصميم أكثر سهولة في الاستخدام وفعالية.

Marwan Nahle is an international and lebanese artist,  who worked on blending new work with the existing elements of the old city of Tyre, Lebanon for Woujoud project.

The artist along with young budding artists named this intervention the "Door in Between": between the past and the present, between moving forward to the future or backward toward history

"The city of Sour has been evolving through its citizens' and elements' relationships. It is based on the interconnection between the past and present. How to move forward while we build on our identity and history?

The struggle of being stuck in between progress and rooting for the heritage and culture of our ancestors.  “The door in between “ offers a connection between the past and present that aims to build on the future of the city of  Sour. It aims to compare two different times. How once our ancient world was dominated by stone builders, fishermen, and artisans, using leather, precious stones, mosaics, and metals as opposed to our present, which is now dominated by consumers using plastic, a lethal poison to our mother earth".

‎إلى الأمام أو إلى الخلف ؟

‎مروان نحلة هو فنان  لبناني معترف به دوليًا . من خلال هذا العمل قام مروان مع مجموعة من الفنانين المحليين  بمزج عناصر فنية جديدة مع الرسومات الموجودة على المسار

‎أطلق على هذه المداخلة اسم "الباب بين الماضي والحاضر" ، بين المضي قدما إلى المستقبل أو إلى الخلف نحو التاريخ.

‎، تطورت مدينة صور من خلال علاقة المواطن مع محيطه  كنتيجة ترابط الماضي بالحاضر

‎كيف نمضي قدمًا اليوم في سياق الصراع الحالي ، بين التطور وتأصيل تراثنا وثقافتنا. يقوم  هذا العمل ببناء صلة بين الماضي والحاضر و يستفسر عن رؤية مستقبلية لمدينة صور. عالمنا القديم كان يسيطر عليه بناة الأحجار ، والصيادون ، والحرفيون ، ويستخدمون الجلود ، والأحجار الكريمة ، والفسيفساء ، والمعادن على عكس حاضرنا ، الذي يهيمن فيه الآن المستهلكون الذين يستخدمون البلاستيك ،الذي هو سم لأرضنا الأم."

Hussein Kassir, one of our artists with a Diploma in Aesthetic Art Engineering, was interested in the concept of creating art with the local community.

His installation titled: "Rhythm of time and space" refers to a symphony between the past and present that will leave its traces and impact over the future.

The goal of this installation is to emphasize the significance of the past on our current present, and how our actions today define our future.

This installation is a scenography reflecting on the theme: Reconstructing a New Perspective for Tyre: Exploring Tyre through the ruins and their inhabitants, who wish to express the past of Sour and how it coexists with us today.

Arabic

حسين قصير ، أحد فنانينا الحاصلين على دبلوم في هندسة الفنون الجمالية ، كان مهتمًا بمفهوم خلق الفن مع المجتمع المحلي.

عمله الفني هو سيمفونية بين الماضي والحاضر تترك آثارها وتأثيرها على المستقبل. الهدف من هذا العمل هو التأكيد على أهمية الماضي في حاضرنا الحالي ، وكيف أن أعمالنا اليوم هي التي سوف تحدد مستقبلنا.

هذا العمل هو عبارة عن سينوغرافيا تعكس موضوع. إعادة بناء منظور جديد لمدينة صور: استكشاف صور من خلال الآتار وسكانها ، الذين يرغبون في التعبير عن ماضي صور وكيف يتعايش معنا اليوم.

Fatina Bawab, a certified mosaic artist is behind the fifth installation of woujoud: The Symphony Vases of Tyre

"The old city of Sour/ Tyre was well known for its mosaic paved streets. Not only on the sidewalks but on the main thoroughfares as well, connecting different parts of the city together and linking between the markets and shops.

This installation revisits the past and brings from, a piece: the mosaic to highlight the extraordinary craftsmanship of the Tyrans in making the mosaics that are still with us today in the El Madina archeological site, where streets are paved with geometrical Roman and Byzantine styles. Vases of Tyre is an attempt to revive this old art by making a mosaic piece inspired by an ancient mosaic floor. This installation is intentionally unfinished to observe the technique used behind this form of art".

Arabic

‎فاتنة بواب ، فنانة مختصة بفن الفسيفساء، ًو هي صاحبةً العمل الفني الخامس من مسار وجود، بعنوان The Symphony Vases of Tyre

‎"اشتهرت مدينة صور القديمة بشوارعها المرصفة بالفسيفساء وهي تربط أجزاء مختلفة من المدينة معًا ؛

‎ يهدف هذا العمل في إعادة النظر في الماضي و تسليط الضوء على براعة الصوريون في صناعة الفسيفساء. لا تزال آثار أعمالهم المنجزة معنا اليوم في موقع المدينة الأثري ، حيث الشوارع مرصفة بفسيفساء هندسية رومانية وبيزنطية .يعتبر العمل محاولة لإحياء هذا الفن القديم من خلال صنع قطعة فسيفساء مستوحاة من أرضية الفسيفساء القديمة. هذا التركيب غير مكتمل عن قصد لمراقبة التقنية المستخدمة وراء هذه التقنية”

Upon reaching the 8th installation on-site in the Woujoud cultural itinerary, the audience encountered Phoenician figures created by the participants of the workshop.

The Phoenician figures were made from recycled materials found in Sour: Plastic bottles, fabric, glass...

It was assembled by the community and guided by the recycled materials artist: Marwan Nahle.

The Phoenician figures are inspired by the old citizens of Tyre, the old characters that built the city of Sour, and, most importantly of all, Elisar, the queen of Sour and Melqart... The figures were also open for interpretation by the viewer.

عند الوصول إلى التركيب الثامن في الموقع من مسار وجود الثقافي ،  تعرف الجمهور  على شخصيات فينيقية صنعها المشاركون في ورشة العمل.

صنعت التماثيل الفينيقية من مواد معاد تدويرها وجدت في صور: قوارير بلاستيكية ، قماش ، زجاج ...

How can urban projects enable collective action that meets the different demands and aspirations of the people who live in a particular territory?

How can we #collaboratively instigate a shift in practices and create novel approaches to navigating the city?

Individuals, elected officials, professionals, and users in different African countries are finding solutions locally and daily through small and major projects as a result of the #participatory approach applied within the urban fabric

Find motivation in the collective imaginary and local dynamics and initiatives of the places you're working in. Draw knowledge from the actions taking place on daily basis as urban tinkering, a source of inspiration rather than limitations.

After a first pilot last year with 31 participants from five African countries, we are back this year with the Africa Innovation Network and key players of AFRICA (S).

A training experience co-built with local stakeholders, responding to their needs and desire to change how we learn and act and understand urban challenges and foster local assets and skills to envision new ways to plan and build our territories.

#FairelaVilleEnsemble is a new course developed by #CampusAFD - AFD - Agence Française de Développement in collaboration with Œcumene Studio and Africa Innovation Network and the players of African cities

We are proud to be part of this project, tutoring about Climate injustice, Community Art and placemaking while weaving between art, design, collective intelligence, participatory approach, and community development actions.

There is no doubt that Art is influential; artists with communities can be strong POWER TO ACTION.

What is Climate injustice?

What is Climate change?

What is the relationship between climate change, climate justice and Art?

Climate injustice is a term used to describe the disproportional impact of climate change on specific groups of people. It is often used to refer to how developing countries and communities are disproportionately affected by climate change, while developed countries are mainly responsible for causing it. Climate injustice can also refer to how marginalized groups within societies are more vulnerable to the effects of climate change.

There is a growing body of evidence that climate change is already having a significant impact on people around the world, and that this impact is not distributed evenly. The poorest and most vulnerable people are often the ones who suffer the most from the effects of climate change, even though they have contributed the least to its causes.

This is not only unfair, but it also threatens to exacerbate existing inequalities and create new ones. Climate change is, therefore, not just an environmental issue – it is a social justice issue as well.

The term “climate injustice” is often used interchangeably with “climate equity” or “climate justice.” However, some scholars prefer to use “climate injustice” to emphasize the fact that climate change is a violation of human rights.

Meet the Eco’Logic CAP program, with a fantastic group of artists, tutors, creatives and environmentalists that we have had the pleasure to collaborate with during these last months.

Appui à la décentralisation et au développement local

La décentralisation en Tunisie contribue à promouvoir la bonne gouvernance et le développement durable au niveau local pour améliorer la vie des citoyens.

Le Plan Local de Développement (#PDL) est une charte entre les municipalités et les citoyens pour mieux intégrer l'engagement citoyen et la société civile dans les processus de gouvernance et de développement local, tout en renforçant la capacité des autorités locales et régionales. , avec un accent particulier sur les femmes et les groupes défavorisés.

Tataouin, ou « porte du désert », qui signifie aussi « source d'eau » en berbère, est l'une des premières villes du sud tunisien à connaître le succès depuis 2019.  Dans le cadre du projet PDL 2022-2025/#ADDL (Appui à la décentralisation et au développement local) du PNUD Tunisie, en coopération avec le projet Madinatouna II de Cities Alliance, avec la participation des organisations coopératives suisses, 26 ateliers participatifs ont été organisés pour identifier les enjeux locaux et les priorités des citoyens dans 22 délégations différentes et discuter des interventions qui pourraient être développées avec la présence des habitants, en particulier des jeunes.

@Tasnim Larbi, (Œcumene Spaces For Dignity) a assisté à 4 ateliers dans sa région, dans les délégations de Maztouria sud, Maztouria nord, El Rogba et Ghourarr. Les ateliers ont été menés par des experts de Cities alliances, le(s) maire(s), le président de la municipalité et des représentants de la société civile.

It seems like just 365 days ago, we were saying this, but Happy New Year!

I want to say that our achievements, and progress, depend on how we respond to the challenges and complexity of today’s world. We must come together, work collaboratively, and commit ourselves to find solutions that will drive greater efficiency, transparency, and accountability. By working in partnership, utilizing our diverse team members' collective knowledge and skills, and putting core values at the heart of our practice and global ethics, we can harness innovation and create solutions that will have far-reaching and sustainable impacts. Let us push forward towards a brighter tomorrow together. Let’s be inspired and inspire others. It starts with us. It starts now.

Aujourd'hui, il est important d'informer, d'encourager et de s'engager dans la planification urbaine en Afrique et d'outiller les acteurs locaux travaillant à redéfinir la façon dont nous concevons, utilisons et revitalisons les villes. La co-conception, la construction et la co-décision placent la bonne gouvernance au cœur des systèmes participatifs. Afin de fédérer les maîtres d'ouvrage, les investisseurs, l’ensemble des habitants, les usagers, les entreprises et les associations locales, les experts de tous horizons, on voit la naissance des acteurs de la participation. Ils jouent désormais un rôle important dans la conception et la réalisation des projets urbains. Ces dernières années, les expérimentations entre différents acteurs se sont multipliées, impliquant des variations dans les rôles de chacun et des approches collaboratives. Les solutions sont donc ancrées dans l'idée que chacun doit être impliqué dans la construction des villes de demain. À travers un processus créatif et d’intelligence collective et une maîtrise de l'ingénierie des communs dits “Commoning” des solutions durables, innovantes et inclusives peuvent être développées pour transformer les villes africaines en des lieux où tous peuvent vivre, coexister et s'épanouir. Retrouvez nos modules Faire La Ville Ensemble, une formation 100% numérique, développée par des experts de l'urbanisme participatif et de la gouvernance territoriale en Afrique.

International Women's Day is an incredibly important day - it celebrates women and honors their accomplishments, while also calling for women justice and equity. It asks us to reflect on how women are treated in our society, in our levels of government, and in businesses across the world. We must ensure that women have these same rights, opportunities, and access to resources as men do. By doing so, it will not only help women make positive strides in their professional lives but also uplift communities everywhere. This International Women's Day lets us come together and pledge to continue pushing for gender equity until we no longer need Women's day at all - at which point equal rights among genders would be a given!

It's finally here !!! ✨️🎉🎉

The booklet that we have been working on since last year is now available for the first time online ✨️

The whole team has consecrated their time and energy to develop this #participatory #analysis for the #municipality of #Soukra in #Tunisia.

'Combining the approaches of #diagnosis and #territorial #prospective with those of #citizen #participation was the objective of this #workshop. The #individual and #collective effort of the #students was a determining factor in ensuring a coupling of #methods that allowed for #experimentation with the scope and relevance of methodological choices, not only in #academic #learning cicles but also in the #professional environment, where oppositions emerge between the classic #approaches of #urban #studies and the techniques of citizen participation...' This is how professor Sami Yassine Turki described this experience.

Rokaya El Bousi is a very promising artist and one of our youngest participants in the Woujoud Cultural Itinerary Workshop.

Rokaya representing her generation was interested in the theme of Rebuilding a new perspective for Tyre: Exploring Tyre through the ruins and their inhabitants.

She recreated the "Gate of Sour" representing duality between the past and present, between how it used to be, its importance, its scale, materials, and textures, inviting the audience to imagine how it can be, from a fresh point of view.

كانت رقية ، ممثلة جيلها ، مهتمة بموضوع إعادة بناء منظور جديد لصور:
استكشاف صور عبر الأطلال وسكانها.

أعادت إنشاء "بوابة صور" التي تمثل الازدواجية بين الماضي والحاضر ، بين كيف كانت ، وأهميتها ، وحجمها ، وموادها ، وملمسها ، ودعت الجمهور إلى تخيل كيف يمكن أن تكون ، من وجهة نظر جديدة...`

Fatima Merhi, an architecture student at Phoenicia University, was behind the installation "The benches of time"

"These benches serve the purpose of educating and raising awareness about the history of Sour, giving a glimpse and an idea of major dates that were crucial in building our city's identity and memory, which we need to preserve and maintain for the future generations.

It is about supporting our backs with the history of sour as we coexist with it in our present, looking forward to a better future. "

insaf Ben othmane Hamrouni Rana Khachab Rania Halawi Omar Wanas

فاطمة مرعي ، طالبة هندسة معمارية في جامعة فينيسيا ، كانت وراء تركيب "مقاعد الزمن"

"غرض هذه المقاعد هو التثقيف والتوعية حول تاريخ صور ، للحصول على لمحة وفكرة عن التواريخ الرئيسية التي كانت حاسمة في بناء هوية المدينة وذاكرتها ، والتي نحتاج إلى الحفاظ عليها للأجيال القادمة.

يتعلق الأمر بدعم أنفسنا بتاريخ مدينتنا حيث نتعايش معه في حاضرنا ، ونتطلع نحو مستقبل أفضل."

"How social integration could be achieved or worked towards it?``
It is by involving local communities (host and displaced) in a process of building the commons"

Thanks to Dr Akino M Tahir and Teresa Retno Arsanti for their invitation to be the Lightning Talk Speaker for Re-imagining Urban Refugees Management in Indonesia: A stimulation Workshop Event
The event entitled, "Re-imagining Urban Refugee Management in Indonesia: A Simulation Workshop" invites international young scholars and professionals from multidisciplinary backgrounds to better understand stakeholder dynamics of refugee management in ‘transit countries’ and to co-design innovative urban refugee management approaches. This workshop encourages participant’s active discussion through a role-playing scheme. Participants will work individually and collectively, simulating the roles, interests, and influence of urban stakeholders, using a case study of Bogor Regency, one of the refugee-hosting municipalities in Indonesia.

I will take this opportunity to invite you to register for Forced Displacement and Urban Management Conference 2021: >>>>  conference.rdiuref.org
The organizer invites the general public, students, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to exchange knowledge and experience on international forced migration in an urban context and to filter issues of concern for future collaborative research works, especially in the context of Global South, Asia and Pacific Region. Forced Displacement and Urban Management Conference consists of three main sessions which are plenary, three thematic sessions, and two special sessions. Œcumene Spaces For Dignity is the convener of the Second Session: Space and Place where insaf Ben othmane Hamrouniwill be the main moderator. See you there !

Last Friday, we warped up a weeklong workshop initiating a placemaking process for Alexandria’s waterfront. The workshop took place both online and onsite to follow COVID-19 and social distancing guidelines. The participants came from diverse backgrounds, including research, architecture, teaching, planning, filmmaking, and ecology. They all worked on their placemaking processes , including community mapping, stakeholder management, vision, and Action objectives. The workshop is a start of a long placemaking process that aims at engaging communities and raising awareness on the accessibility of the waterfront.

The workshop was in cooperation with local Alexandrian research center HCSR https://www.facebook.com/HCSR19

Article - ASchoolyardForAll: Child and Community Friendly Space is a great example of Placemaking for Coexistence

# data[].attributes.body
ASchoolyardForAll: Child and Community Friendly Space is a great example of Placemaking for Coexistence. This participatory ‘design & build’ is a scaled up project designed and implement by Œcumene Studio since 2014 aiming to create age and gender inclusive child-friendly spaces that foster children’s imagination & enhance their physical, cognitive, emotional and social development. In this paper we focused on the narrative of the project in the Central Public Park of New Damietta, Egypt. The project entailed applying a set of urban and design practices centred around a socially engaging mobile installation all aiming to bring the users of the park from the Egyptian and newly settled Syrian communities together to collaborate in reshaping and developing their outdoor environment with the overarching aim of Integrating the local Syrian population in their host society and linking them to one of the active local associations in the area :TDH. The project is a manifestation of the socio-spatial dimension to placemaking where the produced public space is ‘’both a product and producer of change’’(Gottdiener M., Hutchison R., 2011). #space #urbanplanning #placemaking #coexistence #communitySupportProject #UNHCR

Design by the People For the People lecture is available online to watch! we were happy to join the Loudreaders of @waithinktank  to talk, discuss and debate about our work but more about how we perceive architecture and the need for radical change and decolonisation of knowledge and practice.  Insaf Ben Othmane is a Tunisian architect, urban development strategist, critical thinker and researcher. She is the founder of Œcumene Studio SpacesForDignity - as she likes to describe it: The evolving hub for creative processes, complex and connected mechanisms, disciplines, knowledge and people to rebuild resilient societies by bridging the gap between the Know and the Know how (The theory and practice). Œcumene Studio is where architecture is questioned, rethought and redefined to become a process to build societies, empower communities and support them to transmit their leg through generations: A complexe mechanism to design possibilities for positive impact.

Placemaking Alexandria Waterfront was a challenging workshop where the approach of placemaking is considered in itself act of resistance to the privatisation and neoliberal planning of the coastal area. The notion of urban commons , public realm and inclusive public space have been discussed and debated as well as questionning the role of planners and urban designers within a disputed realm. The workshop was organized between the 12th ad the 19th of February 2021 in the Center of Human and the City in Alexandria, Egypt. to follow COVID and social distancing guidelines we opted for a blended type of workshop where only limited number of participants were allowed on site in the center. Throughout the timeline of the workshop the participants who were allowed on the site where alerted, allowing maximum 8-10 people on site and the rest attend the workshop online. Main presentations were done online. with Heba Elhanafy and insaf Ben othmane Hamrouni

# data[].attributes.body
"We live in a world where we are all fuelled by our motives pre-set or adopted. Those motives are centred around the self and not the other, primarily at least. We do believe strongly that architecture should and must be redefined not only as a discipline, practice but also as a concept. Dignity is the state or the quality of being worthy of honour or respect: Spaces for Dignity are where there is a consideration of individuals: we design for the people, their comfort, their care, their happiness, and relief. Where they can express themselves, be themselves, and be proud of. Architecture must dignify its inhabitants.

Special thanks to Asmaa Kamal Kamaly and Worldarchitecture.org to hear our voice.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The grasp of the built environment's impact on human beings as development catalysts for healthy and satisfying lives is crucial for the built environment constitutes the various places where the human interactions take place. By 2050, the urban areas will include two-thirds of the world's population to live in. Growth in the population is estimated to account for 2.5 billion more people worldwide by then of which 90% will occur in Asia and Africa. Hence, the rise will reverberate in the increasing demand for urban settlements. By the 1960s, the urban population in the Middle East was predicted to be 35 percent of the total regional population according to the World Bank.

In this regard, the proposal has been made inferring that the population rise at the end of the 20th century in the Middle East was not merely part of natural demographic growth, but likewise the influx of internal and cross border persons as one of the interpretations behind the population growth. Due to the immensely connected and globalized world, several issues the middle east encountered are perceived to be cross borders. As a pivotal state in the Middle East, Egypt has witnessed numerous issues analogous to the other neighboring countries.

In response to that, planning and design arenas have actively embedded the social dimension accommodating the various needs for the numerous social groups for better dignified human experiences in the urban sphere. For promoting this intersectoral/interdisciplinary partnership, there was an implication of a collaborative development approach for urban development. The method aims to resolve complex urban reality precisely in the middle east region and Egypt in particular.

Œcumene is a social enterprise headquartered in Egypt with activities undertaken primarily in the MENA region and Africa. Its main philosophy is to harness the leverage of design and planning to create dignified urban communities.
Read the full transcript of WAC's interview with Œcumene below:
Asmaa Kamaly: Œcumene Spaces For Dignity is an organization working in the architectural and urban development field, could you share with us what is your message for this socially-oriented habitat work?

Insaf BOH: Named after a Greek term meaning the inhabited land/world, Œcumene studio is a horizontally structured cooperation where there is no order or task given. However, the team gathers to brainstorm ideas and concepts in a wide spectrum of fields. Ecumene's philosophy is to foster the relationship between the human and his direct environment/habitat. There is a dichotomy between theory and practice to be addressed in order to achieve a positive impact. In our work, we aim to decolonize the urban-related knowledge which is considered the lens through which we perceive the city, the urban, and human habitat for more realistic practices. In all our projects, there is the dissemination of knowledge through In-situ pop-up urban actions, lectures, and exhibitions.

Our work involves working on knowledge diffusion and the context-related production of space. We act towards free open-source knowledge and leaving space for collective discussions with interested individuals regardless of their degree and backgrounds. The production of space is our aim, and it is the objective of the different real-life labs/workshops in which we create connections between the various stakeholders and their habitat for better-empowered communities. Our work has been always based on participatory approaches and collective effort with other organizations and individuals and follows the course of being an open lab where there is a lot of support and sharing knowledge. It is an ongoing developing process by itself where we work on breaking the constrained rules. Although we exist in Egypt in a legal form the work pattern we adopt is reaching out for partnerships, creating networks, and changing the culture within the practice. We embrace the theory of change to deconstruct the predominant widely ruled rubrics under the umbrella of globalized and structured capitalism which mandates individuals to abide by. Œcumene is a space where people connect, collaborate, and work with each other and for each other. Therefore, there are a lot of fields and expertise we tackle in an integrated manner for integrated development.

Asmaa Kamaly: The slogan of Œcumene studio is spaces for dignity, how can spaces architecture and design correspond to human dignity from your point of view?

Insaf BOH: "Every man is to be respected as an absolute end in himself; and it is a crime against the dignity that belongs to him as a human being, to use him as a mere means for some external purpose." Immanuel Kant

Today, the state and motive of architecture are plain, to not say dangerous, violent. It is resumed to structures, buildings to embody the finesse of the designer behind it, and spaces reflecting the power of certain ideology at a certain time, and place. The future occupant, the user, has been reduced to numbers tallied up on paper as a checklist goal: an impact indicator. We live in a world where we are all fueled by our motives pre-set or adopted. Those motives are centered around the self and not the other, primarily at least. We do believe strongly that architecture should and must be redefined not only as a discipline, practice but also as a concept. Dignity is the state or the quality of being worthy of honor or respect: Spaces for Dignity are where there is a consideration of individuals: we design for the people, their comfort, their care, their happiness, and relief. Where they can express themselves, be themselves, and be proud of. Architecture must dignify its inhabitants. John Cary an architect, writer, and speaker said it best: Dignity is to design, what law is to justice and health is to medicine'. We should all be designing for the dignity of each individual at hand, carefully iterating our decisions and fulfilling this consideration. There is a two-way relation between the creation of both space production and dignified communities. The process of space production creates dignified communities. The process of making a dignified community creates space production. There is another slogan I find correlated to the same cause "to design possibilities for positive impact". We strive to open doors to positive impact through creativity and design because architecture and planning are considered to be the soft power for people to congregate and have collective knowledge.

Asmaa Kamaly: Your studio has 10 years of experience in the field of social-oriented architecture and urbanism? Could you highlight the various pressing issues in Egypt that you tackled?

Insaf BOH: Œcumene SpacesForDignity addresses two levels of challenges in Egypt and internationally, linked to socio-spatial justice and urban resilience. The first is related to urban poverty, poor community resilience and insecurity (ex: decent housing, safe. built environment, clean water, agriculture, health, financial services, gender equity, community development, migration and displacement, safety, gender-based violence) through offering affordable solutions based on human-centered, spatial, tangible co-design approaches and innovation. Today the most vulnerable entity is the community: Weak, fragile, and in most cases not existing anymore. We work where there is a need to empower individuals, entities to build their capability, their capacity, tools to participate in developing their ideas, to build transformative peace with local tools, and to implement them successfully. The second level is to link, connect, and build a platform of sharing knowledge, best practices, develop critical thinking between different areas and disciplines and make this knowledge accessible by the majority of people in particular youth and children.

Insaf BOH (continued): The first of the key pressing issues we worked on is refugeehood, coexistence, and peacebuilding through design. Although Egypt is one of the good examples where refugees are not in refugee camps but there are issues concerning their integration and their inclusive rights within the public realm. Placemaking is one of the key approaches we adopt in our projects for transformative peacebuilding, conflict resolution, and co-existence.

Secondly, there is the urban so-called informality, however, I prefer the term spontaneous habitat, as people seek these urban living structures as a type of resilience, act of resistance, and form of adaptation since there is an administrative absence in terms of solutions, support, or resources from any recognized entity to allow them creating their habitat. Our involvement includes raising awareness and creating tools and ways to understand these forms of habitat from a non-elitist perspective and grasp more knowledge on how the cities and communities have evolved and shaped. The urban participatory approach entails a lot of negotiations and the usage of art and culture as media is essential for a transparent effective participatory design to ensure the inclusion of all the stakeholders.

The third point revolves around one of our main research points which is the Design and building in relation to Public Space. Public space is a western concept shaping our cities today with its doctrines. This led us to co-found PlacemakingMena. This platform connects people and initiatives from the Middle East & North Africa countries and territories of common history, culture, and human transformations that adopt the Placemaking concept to improve and activate public spaces. We gather partners such as professionals, practitioners, activists, municipalities, and organizations.

Our fourth pillar is the dissemination of knowledge. It is done through exhibitions like ArchitectureForChange, and conferences where there is crucial involvement of stakeholders including the university, local community, and civil society. We worked on topics like urban activism, Art and Culture in community development, Building heritage in Siwa Oasis.

We have also worked on circularity and urban resilience, one of the examples was a pilot project to initiate urban farming culture among youth in partnership with Goethe Institute in Alexandria. Currently, we work on a placemaking project titled "7ta Nara el Bahr" or till we see the see in Alexandria ensuring the involvement of all the stakeholders. The project is incubated at Lelkol placemaking online program launched in November 2020 with only the support of placemakingmena platform members. 5 projects from Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Sudan, and Kuwait have been incubated within this program all revolving around socio-urban participation, co-existence, awareness, and placemaking through art, culture, and design which spur collaborative processes within the community.

Asmaa Kamaly: Your studio operates in Egypt as well as other countries including Ireland, Tunisia, Iraq, and Uganda, what are the resemblances and incongruities between the issues of Egypt and the other countries?

Insaf BOH: We mainly operate in the MENA region and Africa. What is distinctive in Egypt is the degree of urban activism among the population unlike other countries in the MENA region where you need more efforts to mobilize the community. In Egypt, participatory projects and the practice of participatory urbanism is applied since the '60s, '70s and it is today widely part of curriculums at universities. However, there is some fuzziness concerning the concept in comparable countries. It is important to be aware of the business side of the development sector. We witness the use of community participation for only publicity purposes: A cosmetic participation with neither content nor impact.

Asmaa Kamaly: Could you give a brief on the founding team and their background and how did this contribute to your organization?

Insaf BOH: Œcumene Spaces For Dignity has members from Egypt, Tunisia, Ireland, Germany, France, Jordan, Palestine, Syria, Uganda. They all shape its vision; mission and they are all part of its success. Œcumene is based on a social cooperative system and holarchy method. The framework of work is defined collectively. Autonomy and collective intelligence are placed at the heart of the managerial system. I want to keep this ideology and this philosophy of work.

Asmaa Kamaly: Could you pinpoint the key accomplishments for your operations in Egypt?

Insaf BOH: Our key accomplishments in Egypt are mainly:

-HoushYgama'ana or A schoolyard For All: Houch Y'Gama'na is a participatory design and builds project in partnership with UNHCR and under the umbrella of Terre Des Hommes. The project aims to upgrade the educational environment with emphasis on the outdoor space in participation with the Ministry of Education (MOE), the local educational authorities, the teaching and administrative staff, school students, and volunteers. Till our current date, Houch has been implemented in nine different schools across Egypt in Gamasa, Alexandria, and El Sheikh Zayed. In 2016, the project was implemented in two governmental schools in El Sheikh Zayed City: Omar ibn el Khattab School and Amr ibn al-'As School. In addition, the project was also implemented in the 25th of Jan school complex in Burj Al Arab city in Alexandria.

-Ala Abouh:The "'Ala Abouh' Vernissage" is an INDEPENDENT in situ urban exhibition made by a group of multidisciplinary performers who collaborated and experimented to produce spontaneous works in selected spaces like Geziret El Dahab.

-Y'ahl el 7ay: Y'AHL EL-HAY aims to support and ensure better access for Syrian and Egyptian communities to public services in urban areas. The project entails the upgrade of the district service complex (health center, Kindergarten, open spaces) and the inertial open areas in between through several design interventions that emerged from participatory needs assessment sessions held with the city council, doctors, nurses, PHC staff, Local NGO's and the actors in the vicinity of the health center. The inclusion process in the project increases throughout its lifetime via team building and training workshops yielding direct feedback of the ongoing work, enhancing the cohesion among community actors, and creating a stronger sense of ownership of the space. The project is in partnership with UNHCR and cooperation with the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Social Solidarity, and City Councils.

-Dari: Playscape making: Dari project aims to design and build a safe and child-friendly environment in two Orphanages houses in the district of Shoubra by encouraging the children and the staff to participate in the project process in improving their surrounding environments in which they live and interact. Dari team will co-design and build with the participation of Fine Arts students and playworkers the unique outdoor spaces in these houses: The roofs to make it a space to learn, play, and socialize. Dari is designed and implemented by Waqe3 Tany for Holistic Development and Ecumene Studio with the partnership of Sadat Organization for Development and Social Care and the Ministry of Social Solidarity - Egypt

-Architectureforchange ~ at the margin of the discipline, is a collective platform offering series of workshops, seminars that aim to foster knowledge exchange and to track innovations, different practices in the field of Architecture and in particular: Architecture in development".

-Siwi Initiative: Siwi initiative is a people-centered, participatory initiative called combining bottom-up and top-down decision-making. Siwi network involves Mr. Youssef Ibrahim and Mr. Omran Mohamed, community leaders in SIWA Oasis, as well as other civil community-based entities Siwi initiative aims fundamentally to raise the awareness of the indigenous, local community about safeguarding the Siwan architectural heritage and to work together towards defining a new vision for its urban future through a holistic and integrated approach. Under the umbrella of the SIWI initiative: Towards an Inclusive and Heritage-conscious urban Transition comes "EJOUDAR" a participatory design and build workshop. Ejoudar came as a continuity of local community initiated a movement to embellish and harmonize their streetscape. The seven-day workshop has been designed and implemented alongside a wide range of young scholars, volunteers as well as the city council and local NGO. The program included a series of visits, discussions, and open debates between different stakeholders and intensive learning by doing activities and focus groups to address and document the actual challenges facing the development of the oasis.

Asmaa Kamaly: Your studio had partnerships with numerous organizations? could you explicate more on the procedure of having productive partnerships in Egypt?

Insaf BOH: A partnership is built through intensive collaboration with our partners. We are an action-oriented collective. As we endorse collaborative and participatory approaches in our practice this leads to connect and foster a relationship with potential partners and the sustainability of our relationship. The process initially begins by mapping out the stakeholders for a selected project/idea. From the beginning, there is a continuous effort to evolve and engage potential stakeholders in the development of the project idea. The process of engagement includes brainstorming, prototyping, and development of a plan so that each entity could express and state its vision and objectives.

Asmaa Kamaly: Do you accept volunteers and if so, how many volunteers do you have?

Insaf BOH: We do work with volunteers, and this depends on the projects we are part of. We mainly work with volunteers where themselves are part of the project, being direct or indirect beneficiaries. We work as well with collaborators voluntarily where we develop the project together to achieve a specific goal.

Asmaa Kamaly: What are the challenges you faced carrying out your activities? If there are any?

Insaf BOH: From our work in Egypt, there is an enormous social force willing to contribute to the developmental work and incessantly seeks knowledge. Thus, it is considered a vivacious and rich urban case for developmental work and activities particularly for those with a positive thinking mindset and intention to constructively impact their communities. Our challenge remains in the sustainability of our projects in areas suffering from instability and drastic, rapid socio-economic and environmental transformations.

Asmaa Kamaly: How did you handle social resistance conducting your projects?

Insaf BOH: There are contextualized tools, and methodologies for carrying out projects taking into account the resistance to change; Capacity building and community outreach activities and dissemination campaigns are important. A real connection to the local communities and the site is a key component; being there, being part of the community, empathy study could not be ignored. In conflict zones, regular presence and site visits have to be insured while opening possibilities for interaction with the community. There are sessions and workshops involving the local communities and those working in the development sector to interact and voice out their fears and thoughts in non-violent ways settling the ground for a constructive negotiation of the commons.

Asmaa Kamaly: How meaningful architectural initiatives can be empowered from your perspective?

Insaf BOH: Everything is subject of empowerment if we put in the heart and scope of initiatives the benefit of people and their resilience and as tools: participation and sharing knowledge and as value: Honesty, transparency, and human rights. Empowerment can be accentuated through the decolonization, deconstruction, and reconstruction of the concepts, notions, and perceptions of architectural development socially for marginalized groups in a community through more vigorous and dynamic involvement of the miscellaneous social groups.

Asmaa Kamaly: What are your prospects for the studio?

Insaf BOH: Our prospects are concerned with dedicating more time to the collective, scaling up our projects. We are also working on WeAfrica, a project that empowers women through architecture and the Art of Build. And Lelkol: an open-source online collaborative platform.

We have been working in the fields of emergency architecture, integrated planning and peace building for more than 10 years; we have learned that it is essential to collectivley build an infrastructure of change to make architecture and art of building accessible and world settlements inclusive for all. Architecture and Planning are still top-down professions and disciplines. With Œcumene Studio and its partners,  our goal is to initiate projects and Design possibilities for change by local communities where this change is driven by contextual needs , local challenges but also community assets and ressources.
Passionate about people and their generous capacity to care for the other, Through Œcumene Studio We connect ideas, dreams, skills , knowledge, ressources to create synergies and collective intelligence for an inclusive world, dignified human habitat and safe resilient communities.

Thank you Nathalie Frankowski  and Cruz Garcia for this wonderful opportunity to be part of A GREAT LOUDREADING -

OUR VOICES ARE OUT ! Opened this week in the Arcades of the National Royal Library in Brussels, WAI Architecture Think Tank present A Great Loudreading, part of Fundamental Acts curated by @traumnovelle.eu Traumnovelle, Humbble and Katía Truijen.

A Great Loudreading continues the radical practice of education performed in the tobacco factories of the Caribbean at the beginning of the 20th century. The practice was simple. While tobacco workers engaged in the alienating labor of rolling cigars, they would hire one of their own to read aloud for them during the entire work-day. By reading critical, utopian, and subversive texts, Loudreaders helped shape an anti-capitalist, decolonial imagination as workers established bonds around mutual aid and networks of solidarity. A Great Loudreading combines contemporary and historical forms of loudreading as global networks construct emancipatory imaginaries in the collective construction of other worlds.

Performed on an installation by Jean-Benoît Vétillard at the KBR, the Royal Library of Belgium ‘A Great Loudreading’ includes a series of global interventions by poets, authors, designers, and artists including:

What is the future of African cities and charter cities? Listen to Heba Elhanafy while she is uncovering the hidden gems of African Urbanism. ￼

African countries are growing at an astonishing rate - cities will have to scale to this growth. What is the history, and what is the future of charter cities in Africa?

Iyinoluwa Aboyeji (also known as "E") is among Africa's Top 30 under 30 by Forbes, and one of the leading African thinkers in this space.

Heba Elhanafy is an urban design and sustainability expert active with the Charter Cities Institute, and will be showing us the hidden gems of African Urbanism.

Places for Coexistence: Œcumene Spaces For Dignity Leveraging Design and Planning for Better Dignified Urban Communities

Join us Sunday 22nd of August with DARPE Platform and Œcumene Spaces For Dignity where I will be talking about the philosophy and work around emergency architecture, integrated planning, and peacebuilding in the context of development projects particularly in Egypt and Tunisia. I will discuss how architecture, design and art of build are mechanisms through which we empower communities, create space/place for coexistence and their key role in emergency response, build community resilience and the development of local and global agendas.

Lieux de coexistence : Œcumene Spaces for Dignity: Co-concevoir et co-construire pour des communautés plus dignes

Rejoignez-nous dimanche 22 août avec DARPE Platform et Œcumene Spaces For Dignity où je parlerai de notre philosophie et de notre travail autour de l'architecture d'urgence, la planification intégrée stratégique, les stratégies d'intégration et consolidation de la paix  en particulier en Égypte et en Tunisie. Je discuterai comment l'architecture, les processus créatifs et l'art de construire sont des mécanismes par lesquels les pouvoirs communautaires sont consolidés, et des espace/lieux de coexistence stimulés voir crées et leur rôle clé dans les interventions d'urgence, la construction de la résilience des communautés et l'élaboration d'agendas locaux et mondiaux.
