Civil Society Initiative Association (SİTİ)
Defining “commoning" as not only about shared resources but also about safeguarding and co-creating civic space as a collective good, SİTİ invites you to an interactive workshop that will use mapping, roleplay, and group dialogue to rethink civic space as a shared common. In their workshop, SiTi wants to address the fragile state of civic trust, cooperation and reconciliation in the northern part of Cyprus by redefining the commons as an essential base for building an enabling environment where civil society actors can thrive.
Through a participatory, activity-based workshop, SiTi will bring together diverse actors to explore how civic space can be understood as a common, identify current challenges and opportunities, and co-create principles for inclusive governance. The interactive design will foster dialogue, negotiation, and collective reflection, resulting in a symbolic “Charter of Civic Commoning.” This aligns with SiTi’s commitment to fostering cooperation among CSOs, contributing to reconciliation, and ensuring pluralism and sustainability in civic participation. Together, participants will explore challenges, practice cooperation, and draft principles for inclusive and democratic civic life.
