Experimentcafé

Veelgestelde vragen

Are Comon and De Krook the same thing?

No. 'De Krook' is the name of the building. Comon is the name of the collective of partners based in De Krook. So, Comon will also organize activities in other buildings or locations in Ghent.

Who is welcome at Comon events?

Everyone! Especially the 260,000 citizens who care about a healthy Ghent.

What if the experiment fails?

We may learn more from a failed experiment than a successful one. We specifically choose challenges that offer genuine opportunities for experimentation. Experimenting means trying, and sometimes failing. And that's okay.

What can I expect from Comon?

Comon collects challenges from citizens of Ghent and encourages them to participate in roundtable discussions. After that, we set up an experiment. We'll brainstorm together, work together, and discover the possible outcomes together. It's important to know that we won't arrive at a ready-made solution, that Comon will develop in service of end users. We discover possible solutions together, and figure out how and by whom they can be realized, together.
