Program:

16:00 Walking tour about "Omonia's market and the public space": A walk through the streets and galleries of the square based upon stories of people working in the shops and the relation between the market and the public space. We'll listen to songs composed by these stories.

17:00 Open discussion together with the Institute of Place Management: Which is the relation between the shop-owners and the public space? Which are the management processes regarding public space? How is the identity of a market being constructed? Examples from abroad.
