Can we build an #openvillage by October? Find out.

Time to plan your October – between 19 and 21 we’re meeting again in Brussels. We invite the community to build the event. There are some free tickets for you to grab, two great fellowships of 15.000 Euro for the leaders, and travel grants.

Myself, I am busy looking for initiatives, projects, and ideas we have still overlooked. If you know of anyone who is doing work around DIY welfare, or if you want to tell your own story – please contact me on natalia@edgeryders.eu.
