\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nSYMPOSIUM 2025 \/ B.L.O.-ATELIERS \u2013 MODEL FOR CREATIVE INDUSTRIAL CULTURE
\nSecuring and Further Developing a Unique Cultural and Urban Nature Site in Berlin<\/strong><\/h4>\nFor over 20 years, the B.L.O.-Ateliers have been a self-governed space for art, crafts, urban nature, and social projects \u2013 established on the grounds of a historical railway depot in Berlin-Lichtenberg. The Symposium 2025 brought together, for the first time, experts from culture, politics, urban development, nature conservation, and infrastructure from across Germany to discuss the future of this special 12,000 m\u00b2 site.<\/p>\n
The central question was how self-organized creative locations on former industrial sites can be secured long-term and sustainably developed. Topics of the day included:<\/p>\n
Models for the sustainable repurposing of industrial culture
\nSocial and ecological spaces in the city
\nCollaboration between culture, politics, and infrastructure providers
\nFuture perspectives and contractual security for the B.L.O.-Ateliers
\nBiodiversity on urban-industrial sites
\nAdditionally, the Reader for the Symposium \u2013 featuring contributions from all experts, a glossary, and evaluation \u2013 will be available as a PDF download.<\/p>\n
We are also publishing short Reels with impressions, voices, and central thoughts from the day on the social media channels of the Freundeskreis B.L.O.-Ateliers e.V. (Friends of the B.L.O.-Ateliers association).<\/p>\n
Special thanks go to the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media (BKM), whose funding made this symposium and the Reader possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n
