We want to contribute to the establishment and sustainability of “public living rooms”, as local self managed spaces, where community building, empowerment and informal learning takes place. We have three main overall objectives. We want to: A) .. make knowledge on the functioning of public living rooms accessible; B) .. improve the quality of adult education in public living rooms; C) .. assure continuity in the organizational process of public living room.

We will do activities around understanding and discussing the nine dimensions of the "public living room". Self-help women’s groups get the chance to practice with them and document their findings. We organize coaching in Serbia, Austria and the Czech Republic and coach trainers in the process. Finally we will harvest what we learned in an end meeting and organise dissemination activities.

At the end of the project we have: A) .. made a website to document the 9 dimensions and related questions, B) .. trained leaders of public living rooms, to work with the method, C) .. and practiced working with the dimensions and questions in different settings, including a Roma mother center
