Third Place & ZAWP
This document discusses third places and the Origin of Spaces (oosEU) project. It defines third places as community spaces separate from home and work, like coffee shops, and explains their importance for building social connections and enabling innovation. The document outlines oosEU case studies on third place projects focused on social enterprise, participatory governance, ecological transition, and local partnerships. These include coworking hubs in London, Bilbao, Lisbon, and community organizations in Pula and Bordeaux. Resources for learning about each case study are provided in the Origin of Spaces toolbox. In summary, the document explores how third places can foster community and creative change, and highlights oosEU examples working on these goals.
