FREE SPACE international forum
15 October 2014, Yerevan, Armenia
FREE SPACE international forum will be held in Yerevan, Armenia, on the
17-19 October, 2014 with about 15 events - panel discussions,
presentations, workshops, performance, gardening, music.
The main themes of the forum are democratisation of public spaces and
empowerment of women. The forum will bring together activists and
researchers from 7 different countries and will provide a platform for
discussions, exchange and networking concerning issues of (re)claiming
and designing democratic, free public spaces, women empowerment and
their presence in public spaces.
The forum will be held at Karen Demirchyan park, known as the
`Malibu park', which is an abandoned public space in the very
heart of Yerevan, near Mashtots Avenue and which we aim at co-designing
and co-useing through this event.
The FREE SPACE forum is organized by the Institute for Democracy and
Human Rights (IDHR) in cooperation with the South Caucasus Regional
Office of Heinrich Böll Foundation (Germany), in the framework of
`Designing a democratic public space' project. The
project aims at shaping democratic, participatory, diverse public spaces
in Yerevan. Taking this into account we facilitate informal education
for disadvantaged women, raise awareness on strength of the organized
social mobility of women, and enhance their civic culture and
rights-based claims.
We are pleased to invite you to participate in the events within the
forum program and cover them in your media.
