MAINCODE at the Placemaking Week Europe 2025

MAINCODE takes part in Placemaking Week Europe 2025, held from 23 to 26 September 2025 in Reggio Emilia, Italy. This international festival brings together practitioners, city planners, policymakers, and community leaders to explore innovative strategies for creating more sustainable, inclusive, and connected public spaces. As part of the Places of Well-Being theme of this year’s festival, MAINCODE attends the session “Learning Grounds for Well-Being: Schools as Laboratories for Regenerative Placemaking – A school plaza for every community!” coordinated by Zandra Thuvesson and Bjorn Wallsten (Formas – Swedish Research Council for Sustainable Development), and Mario Bellinzona (LaQUP). The session explores how participatory design processes can transform schools into shared spaces that strengthen climate resilience and foster social connection.
