Hi there, we were thinking on starting a newsletter a long time ago but many projects and new family members kept coming and we couldn’t find the time! Anyway, here it is, we hope to publish one per season from now on, sharing things that we have read/researched/visited as well as some news from us.
Jane Walks Córdoba
Since 2012 we are the city organisers of Jane’s Walk in Cordoba, Jane’s Walk is a global event of citizen-led walking tours inspired by Jane Jacobs’ ideas
We developed CreativesIn as a tool for mapping, visualizing and understanding our own creative region. Since then the project has grown organically accross Europe
“#CreativosEn” es un proyecto abierto a otras comunidades y ciudades que desarrollamos en 2011 para visualizar la comunidad creativa de Córdoba. Ya que formamos parte de ella, queríamos conocerla mejor, saber quién la compone y a qué actividades se dedican.

Colaboratorio
Colaboratorio is our open innovation lab in which we work together with volunteers, creatives and other organizations in applied research projects based in free culture
Here, at Colaborativa, we have been printing in 3D for almost two years now. Our small RepRapPro Huxley was assembled collectively in the Colaboratorio and since then we have used it for all sort of projects from small hacks and appliances repairs, to full size architectural structures.

Self-build as a social tool: Communities need collective spaces to gather for group activities and social support. The lack of a collective space to meet, discuss and perform group activities, especially at the early stages of the development of the community, can generate negative consequences in the future. Self-build can be a powerful social mechanism for strengthening communities. Examples of these communities are families, neighbours or young people in need of spaces for developing creativity, social actions or educational activities.

Creative Sector
The creative sector is leading a socio economic shift in Europe redifining the way we work and collaborate. We research on how the new digital, creative and cultural sector can contribute to social, cultural and economic development
Los medios locales se hacen eco esta semana de dos interesantes iniciativas que desde el sector público apoyan la industria creativo cultural en nuestra ciudad: la nueva incubadora del Proyecto Lunar y la promoción de un distrito creativo en torno al corredor cultural Corredera-Compañía-Mezquita.
As part of the acceleration programme Empezar a Emprender and its one to one mentoring we had the opportunity to visit this educational project located in Cordoba.
