CENTRINNO’s Focus Group series: the Fab City Hubs workshop

The grand finale of the CENTRINNO project’s Focus Group series, the Fab City Hubs workshop took place online on 23 November 2023. Over the past months, the focus groups engaged in insightful discussions on key topics such as Social Inclusion, Circularity, and Vocational Training. This last Focus Group on Fab City Hubs encapsulated the essence of this network’s mission and offered a great opportunity to deep dive into innovative approaches and hear on open spaces for city making.

Participants’ expertise and perspective contributed to the success of this final workshop. As the project team explores the potential of Fab City Hubs, participants’ insights become crucial in shaping the discourse and opening new avenues for collaboration. The programme of the event is presented below.

Initial feedback from the organisers is summarised below. The project will be releasing the takeaway messages on its website in the near future.
