Activation Event in Karlskoga

In August 2025, UTOPIZE will hold a three-day Activation Event in Karlskoga to launch the Identification Phase and gather local input for future public space interventions. The event will bring together residents and key stakeholders to identify needs, challenges, and aspirations and to build a shared basis for the next steps in the project.

Where and when

18 to 20 August 2025
Location: Hotel Alfred Nobel, Karlskoga

What will happen across the three days

Each day will focus on a different group to ensure broad input:

• Community leaders
• Local experts (e.g., architects, engineers, environmentalists, designers)
• Other stakeholders (e.g., NGOs, vulnerable group representatives, local organisations)

How we work

A mix of workshop activities and on-site/sensory sessions, designed to capture both practical priorities and lived experience.
