€5 – €10

WORKAROUND Day 2: Bringing the union back to life! Workers rights, banking, real-estate and community

The second day of our 3-day WORKAROUND Conference explores the comeback and reshaping of unions, cooperations and other community platforms, with the aim of achieving common goals through morning presentations and an interactive afternoon workshop. Beginning with a profound and insightful introduction to the realm of unions and cooperations, we will hear presentations four promising community projects that will function as case studies, from the fields of banking, workers’ rights, real estate and community. Come and engage with these experts during the afternoon session, learn from their experiences and share your own questions and plans with the working group. The last hour of the symposium will bring the different workgroups and experiences back on stage, thus sharing fresh insights with all participants. A reception at the SUPERMARKT bar will close the day and provide ample opportunity for feedback and talks over a drink or two!
