DAS PACKHAUS - Vienna, AT 
In April 2014 in Vienna, a former vacant office building from the 1970s reopened to the public, offering spaces for users, projects, initiatives and small organizations on its 2200m2 surface spread over 7 floors. Das Packhaus hosts 200 people from various backgrounds that benefit by professional cooperations in the office building used on a temporary use lease. 
OLD MARKET HALL (Stará tržnica) - Bratislava, SK
The Old Market Hall (Stará tržnica) in Bratislava is a historical building dating from 1910. It currently serves as a meeting point, offering food markets every Saturday and cultural events on other days. Situated in the building are two cafés, a grocery shop, a cooking school and a soda water manufacture.
Jatka 78 - Prague - CZ
Jatka78 is a multifunctional theatre, music club, gallery, training halls, rehearsal room and gym. Founded by a new circus company, the former industrial halls located inside Prague's Holesovice market were first used as a storage space and then were converted to a theatre. 
CVERNOVKA Cultural Centre - Bratislava, SK
The Cvernovka since ten years has been inhabited by various companies and organisations that have turned it from a derelict industrial building into a buzzing creative cluster. Today, after having changed ownership numerous times since privatisation, the temporary lease contract will not be renewed even though the creative community even founded a Foundation to try to buy the building. The alternative solution though has been to move to an abandoned school where to start newly the experience with a long time contract with the Administration, who recognised the value of having such a reality in the city. 

Funding the Cooperative City workshop series will continue travelling around Central Europe! After having been in Bratislava and Prague, we will be in Warsaw on 22nd June together with our local partners Bec Zmiana Foundation
