This handbook is directed at practitioners, educators, civil servants and engaged citizens who are active in processes of social inclusion and
community empowerment in urban contexts. It aims at providing ideas and tools to exploit the neighbourhood as an active site for mutual learning,
innovation and capacity building. The handbook supports the training of new and strongly required hybrid professional figures acting as neighbourhood
facilitators for processes of social engagement, co-creation and management of commons. Its content will be tested during the training of 20 “urban
educators” and applied in the five local labs promoted by the EU project in the partner cities before being published online as an Open Educational Resource.
The overall objective is to connect and provide tools to different organisations and individuals that share an interest in this innovative field of action research
focused on the potential of neighbourhoods as learning spaces. In the following pages you find the results of pooling ideas and methods for social
engagement and co-creation deriving from the background of the five organisations partnering in the EduCity Erasmus+ project. They draw on
expertise and practical experience in education, urbanism, social work, participatory practice, art and design through different European countries.
