Who This Event is For
Are you part of a social movement for socio-ecological change? Are you passionate about climate justice, human rights, feminism, migration, peace, democracy, solidarity economy or other related topics? We would like to give those committed to working for a better future a chance to connect with others in the field! Including cross-movement networks: environmentalists talking to peace activists, community builders to queer groups and so on…
It is a space to weave our groups’ ideas and goals together, to experiment with joint visions of the future we are working towards. We want to honor the complexity of the task and not try to agree on “the one right way.” Instead, we practice working in ambiguity and uncertainty. We all experiment in our own ways and come together to share our experiences, exchange knowledge and resources, and cultivate cross-group collaboration. In doing so, we also want to work at the pace of regeneration and not sacrifice people’s well-being for short-term effectiveness.
This Cross-Movement Open Space is part of a series. Everyone can join a contact exchange, and of course come back and experience how the community grows and deepens with each Open Space!
“Wherever there is uncertainty, there is a possibility.”

This cycle of events started in November 2023. Within one year 4 editions of the event took place, each with 40 to 100 participants. We are establishing this space as a long term presence in Austrian Civil Society because we believe that it can liberate dormant potential.
