SOCIAL INITIATIVES INCUBATOR

Dream. Discuss. Prototype

OPEN HOURS
(more options may be available as more volunteers will join the organisation)

During the cold season we try to cluster the activities and use earlier hours of weekends for light and easy access to the location, also some evenings of the week. If you have an ideat to bring into location during the office hours, please öet us know and let's discuss!

During summer we only dance outdoors, going team building in the wild and work with youngsters in the remote training facilities. Please get in touch via phone or mail if you want to organize or rent the location, or plan something new for the season!

Here you can find the schedule of our current activities and events, e.g. Tango, Carpentry and others.

Grown up people play too little. Game gives the strongest learning, social interactions are the core of establishing a good life, and Project Pocket is a place where these meet. Promoting social entrepreneurship, sustainable local development and recognition of international competences, we aim to find the fastest way of social integration and bring forward joy of creation (well, pain of hard work and dealing with challenges as well) when working on social, cultural and educational projects.
Project Pocket operates as an international membership organisation under a non-profit NGO for women and youth ProQvi. It was established as an urban environment location for various non-partisan culture and educational experiments. It provides possibilities for co-working, educational activities and workshops, open public culture events and entertainment.
There are both opportunities for cooperation, volunteering, learning and developing own initiatives. Please read more in relevant sections of the menu.

It is possible for other stakeholders (non-religious, non-political) to rent different parts of Project Pocket. Without membership registration, it is 100 kr/hour. A safety deposit is 2000kr. We require the place to be left neat, clean and functioning (at least the way it was before the rent and any improvment is highly appreciated). The location is best suitable for creative meetings, culture productions, seminars with group work and smaller celebrations. As there are miscellaneous decorations in the place, we strongly advise supervision of children and self-control of adults. Unless it is tango.

Under aktiviteter synliggörs den innovativa potentialet som finns hos stadens internationella invånare, dvs människor som har diverse erfarenheter och perspektiv men inte kunskap om hur man applicerar dessa i innovationsvänliga miljö i Sverige. På det sättet skapas länken mellan etablerade utvecklingsaktörer och nyanlända specialister, främjas tillgänglighet, erfarenhetsutbyte, metodutveckling samt utforskning och bredare förståelse för innovationsmiljöer och klimat i staden, Skåne och Sverige i stort. Genom detta skapar man förutsättningar till starkare tvärsektoriella gränsöverskridande samverkan, aktiva innovationsprocesser och rörlighet mellan områdena både geografiskt och professionellt.
