This case study highlights initiatives promoted by KeepOn LIVE, focusing on the introduction of reusable cup systems in concerts and festivals - a practical solution to reduce single-use plastic and waste.

By rethinking everyday practices, cultural and creative spaces can turn sustainability into concrete action, engaging both organisers and audiences in more responsible behaviours.

Small changes can make a big difference - especially when shared across a wider network.

โ™ป๏ธ II Training Hotspot โ€“ Barcelona

From 11 to 13 March, partners of the Greening the Hubs project gathered in Barcelona for the second Training Hotspot, hosted by TransfoLAB BCN @

Over three days, participants explored circularity and material innovation from waste through workshops, site visits and moments of exchange, sharing practices and learning from local initiatives.

Beyond the training, these days were also about building connections, strengthening a growing network of creative hubs working together towards a more sustainable future.

โ™ป๏ธ What happens when creativity and culture turn waste into a resource?

Welcome to the II Training Hotspot by Greening the Hubs! From 11th to 13th of March at , all our partner hubs will come together to dive into circularity and material innovation, transforming waste into opportunity!

The program focuses on circular design principles, community engagement, and social innovation through a series of collaborative activities, workshops, and guided visits to local sustainability hubs.

The online materials developed within our Capacity Building programme are now available on our website! ๐ŸŒฟ

Over the past months, we curated a collection of tools and resources created by EU projects and organisations working on culture and sustainability, including MOOCs, recorded workshops, podcasts and practical guidelines.

The modules explore three interconnected areas:
- Impact Awareness
- Community Engagement
- Business Innovation

You can also access the video podcasts of the workshops with our invited trainers, who accompanied our pilot group of sustainability managers in developing new approaches for their hubs.

A shared learning journey that continues beyond the programme.

As part of the first Greening the Hubs Training Hotspot at .space , a dedicated workshop led by Nada Tozija ( ) introduced participants to the world of biomaterials.

Biomaterials are materials grown, cultivated or transformed from biological sources, like bacteria, plants or food waste, instead of being produced through conventional industrial processes. ๐ŸŒฑ

More than a technical session, it was an invitation to rethink what materials are made of, how much energy they require, and how cultural hubs can also become spaces for material research and circular experimentation. ๐ŸŒฟ

During the first Training Hotspot at @โ€Œdumbo.space, European cultural hubs came together for three days of shared work and experimentation around one urgent topic: food and beverage waste. ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ

Within this context, the hands-on workshop developed with @โ€Œmadera.gram became a space to slow down, build together and test ideas in a very concrete way.

Beyond prototypes, what emerged was something equally important:a shared language around waste and common challenges across different hubs.

๐Ÿ‘ฅWorking side by side, made it clear how much potential lies in collective experimentation: not to find quick solutions, but to create conditions for learning, critical thinking and long-term change inside cultural spaces.

This is what Training Hotspots are about for Greening the Hubs: not just moments of knowledge transfer, but environments where practice, dialogue and imagination meet. ๐Ÿ’ก
