What does participation actually look like at the neighbourhood level, and what makes it possible?
Curious Neighbours and RENTEN – Transition Nordvest, alongside Demokrati Garage and We Do Democracy, invites you to an evening of conversation about contribution, participation, and what Nordvest might yet become.
Jakob Ingemann Parby, curator and senior researcher at the Museum of Copenhagen, will also be joining to open the evening with the talk “𝘍𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘥𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘶𝘳𝘣𝘢𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 — 𝘢 𝘩𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘕𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘵 1845-2026”
Gus Guerrero from Curious Neighbours will give us an insight into contribution, consequence and why participation is perhaps where belonging actually begins.
Louisa Mathies from RENTEN will speak about local action and what agency looks like at street level. International residents involved in RENTEN will share how they found their way in, and what shifted when they did.
The evening closes with an open conversation and drinks.

𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐍𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬 is a Copenhagen-based neighbourhood lab exploring how people contribute to the places they live. Through small-scale experiments, local collaborations, and public conversations, we look for ways to make participation more possible, especially for international creatives living in Denmark.
