H2020 Secondment in Mexico

From August to  September 2019, in the frame of the Co-creation EU H2020 project, Laura Colini did her secondment at UNAM  University of Mexico City. During five weeks she lectured at the department of Social Studies, did field work for the case study about housing rights in CDMX, volunteered for documenting  Internet in a Box project  with Adam Holt in Chiapas schools and spoke at the International Symposium Ciudades cohesionadas: co-crear agendas urbanas incluyentes.  Here she presented a paper entitled The experience of Community Centers and the right to the city,  discussing the role of living archives and community museums in defying the spatial stigmatisation of disadvantaged areas.
