In WETOPIA we all acknowledge that we can only make a city TOGETHER. In Wetopia we actively stimulate more cooperation and develop, research, and demonstrate new alliances between citizens, politicians, civil servants, city makers, entrepreneurs, artists, activists, scientists, etc. Because all change-makers are policymakers. WETOPIA, Making Cities Together is a global living lab of communities of practice in which we work locally in the field to connect people and projects, to explore more holistic solutions and possibilities, to learn, to understand, to work on new forms of democracy by co-creating and working together and doing so, expanding the Wetopia way of working globally.

In this session, the driving force of WETOPIA, Joke Quintens introduced the Wetopia work and invited Wetopians Siyasamkela Kilani and Ellen Fischat to share their takeaways from the local Wetopia Learning Program for Policy Makers we did in collaboration with Open Design Afrika in Cape Town. Thereafter Joke introduced two great change making Wetopian examples to the session, who are working with the most deprived communities in Brazil and in Kenya: Pimp my Carroça and Cataki in Sao Paulo, Brasil by Mundano, an activist and artist, and Living Lab Nairobi in Nairobi, Kenya by Amollo Ambole, a scientist. Kevin Kimwelle, Wetopia partner and community architect based in Port Elizabeth, South Africa made the closing remarks.
