Tesserae [Germany]
Tesseræ is a platform connecting critical multidisciplinary research, education, art, communication and project development in urban, territorial and social fields. Based in Berlin, we work with local communities, independent and non-profit organisations, as well as local, national and European institutions.
We are a coordinator of URBEX and in charge of delivering the handbook of Urban Exploration. We will test its methodologies in Berlin within local labs. At the end of the project, in September 2023, we will organise the project’s final international conference.

Bond of union [Italy]
We are a social cooperative active in the field of education and European cooperation. Our work combines the local dimension, specifically the neighbourhood Capo-Monte di Pietà of Palermo, with an international exchange dimension through the implementation of European projects. We collaborate with local authorities, schools and private social actors to promote the participation of young people and adults through their involvement in educational activities, projects and initiatives.
Furthermore, we develop educational resources, such as digital publications and platforms, for professionals in the educational and social sectors.

Nomadways [France]
We are a team of nomads who creates kick-ass workshops for artivists (artists, educators and youth workers) not only in France but also around Europe. Our mission is to craft art for social change and create opportunities for our artivist community to experiment with artistic, digital and performative tools in order to bring higher quality and better engagement to their work.
At URBEX, we will work on expanding a network of urban explorers and designing a platform where to bring them together online. We will also facilitate an educative moment in France to introduce the urban exploration kit to our local community and youth.

ZEMOS98 [Spain]
We work in the intersections of cultural processes — we mediate for social transformation, encourage participation and advocate for critical civic engagement with dominant narratives. We develop mediation processes that activate relationships between activists, artists, academics, foundations and public institutions. Our objective is to value political and cultural processes for social change.
We work towards a culture of participation that fosters a critical citizenry with mainstream narratives. We are a cooperative and have been dedicated to cultural production and social research for more than twenty years.
