At the beginning of July 2024, Linda Murāne went to Brussels, where the next experience and research visit of project partners was held within the framework of the BASICC project. Two communities MONA and ZENNEKE were visited. The ZENNEKE community has obtained a lease in an old factory, which is periodically renovated using reusable materials. The community offers metalworking courses and participates in a carnival every other year, where students' projects are displayed. On the other hand, the community MONA (from the word monastery) is housed in a Catholic church. The community has four projects, where local residents help organize various events and maintain the building.
The activities are implemented by the Erasmus+ project “Building Alternative Skills to Implement Creativities and Commons-BASICC, No. 101111802” and are co-financed from the European Union budget.
