How do we imagine the Valencia of tomorrow? What if we were able to combine intelligence, experience and skills of all players in the city to provide an answer to the challenges facing our city? And what if we were able to do it by connecting with collectives, projects and experts from the international community?

Civic Factory Fest is an event that promotes learning, thinking and action around new forms of collaborative design and civic innova-tion for our city, with the aim of promoting new opportunities for dialogue and collaboration between citizens, public administration, university and the private sector.

WHAT? WHO?Civic Factory Fest is a project promoted by CivicWise and Marina of Valencia.

CivicWise is an international community focused on promoting processes of collec-tive intelligence applied to the territory.

Marina de Valencia is a public institution composed of the General Administration of the State, the Generalitat Valenciana and the City Council of Valencia.

WHY?- To develop spaces capable of promoting dialogue Develop spaces capable of promoting dialogue between citizens, government, the private sector and universities.

-To create a common space for debate, learning and collective work for the various agents present in the territory.

-To promote new synergies between different projects, companies and entities that are working on processes of civic innovation in Valencia.

- To promote the development and testing of tools and methodologies capable of promoting collective intelligence processes with impact on the territory.

WHERE?

WHEN?

The event will take place at the Alinghi Building in the Marina of Valencia.

Located in a strategic area in ValenciA. The Marina area is present-ed as one of the largest territories of transformation, innovation and growth of the city.

This building enjoys a central location in the inner harbor and close to the urban fabric. It has facilities that make of this location the ideal place to become the first European Civic Factory. This space will become not only a prototype of an experimental nature, but also a place of reference for the public and the various actors in the territory.

During the month of November. During the first three weeks the place will be mainly oriented to professionals. The last week of november the space will be open to the general public.

It is a space for meeting and discussion, formal and informal that promotes discussion and thinking among local actors of the territory and citizens.The Agora includes a set of activities for debate, thinking and collective construction on integrated land management. A complex space from which to create network and under-stand who, how and why it manages, administers, develops, builds and uses the city.It is divided into several predefined spaces and have dif-ferent character. A formal space with conference area and space for workshops and on the other hand a more informal space linked to a bar.

Civic Factory has six spaces with distinct character and function but closely interrelated. These spaces host multiple activities and formats from which the six areas of work outlinedabove work transversely.

Laboratory research on techniques and methodologies to accelerate progress towards a sustainable food system. The kitchen as gastronomic, cultural and social phenom-enon.Share knowledge and experiences on food, food sover-eignty and agriculture between local producers, entrepre-neurs gastronomy and tourism and citizenship.

Space for learning and experimentation that promotes ac-tivities in collaboration with universities and Civic Design platform of CivicWise.It is a space for communication, creation and collective re-search that thinks around the city around six thematic areas previously developed. It is a co-learning environment where citizens, public, private and government sector build an open and collaborative way.

Space whose function is to visualize the activation pro-cess of the building during the event and promote other emerging communities around artistic and civic practices that share the values of the project.It is the place where the community will realize that the Civic Factory Fest is happening here, now, and is connect-ed with the world.

Space for action and job sharing where local actors, inde-pendent professionals and small businesses develop actions and projects with impact on the territory. It is divided into several areas:Co-Working: Open shared workspace that promotes collab-orative work and meeting the various agents present in the territory.Start-Up Space: accessible offices temporarily in seed stage startups.FabLab: tools and infrastructure necessary for digital manu-facturing. Prototyping allows both the furniture and material solutions needed to build the space itself and other projects.

Recreational activities will be more focused on socializ-ing and celebration among people who are in the Civic Factory Fest, but there will also be space for expression through visual arts. It is both concerts and public places such as projections and spaces for sport. Have a good time together is essential to tap our present and strength-en relationships.
