What you can do
Trainings: See the training
Learn how things work and how to change them. In 2025 a group spent five months on spotting and reporting corruption.
Art in public space: See the art project
Work with local artists, then paint real walls. In 2026 that meant a mural in City Park and graffiti in two schools.
Meet and talk
Common Ground Lab brought 30 people together over 10 meetings in 2026, to listen first and then work on local problems in mixed teams.
