Moderator: Yiannis Christidis (CY)
This seminar aims to discuss the needs, opportunities and challenges for increased levels of participation in all societal fields, and its implications and requirements for active citizenship and civil society. One particular field, the field of communication, will be gently highlighted during the seminar, without decontextualising communication and disconnecting it from the many other social fields and their specificities.

Community media, Community art production and Democratic knowledge

Pascal Gielen (BE) - Community Art, A Neoliberal Solution for the Deconstruction of the Welfare State?

Nicos Trimikliniotis (CY) - Beyond austerity citizenship and nationalistic communalism in Cypriot 'community media': social media, digitalities and emancipation – towards a mobile commons
Moderator: Nico Carpentier (BE/SE)
The artistic-democratic capacities of communities and their organisations are often underestimated and neglected, pushed aside by traditional top-down structures, and leadership, expertise and professional models. This seminar aims to critically explore the artistic-democratic capacities of communities and their organisations, identify problems, obstacles and restrictions, and look ahead at the conditions of possibility for the continued democratisation of the social and its many fields.
