Creative Grounds connects people with the projects, pioneers, and practices driving cultural and creative regeneration across rural Europe.

Creative Grounds Fieldlab is a four-day immersive experience designed for placemakers, creative entrepreneurs, developers, architects, cultural operators, and investors interested in creating meaningful places.

This September, participants will explore Sicily’s Catania region through a curated journey of site visits, founder conversations, expert insights, and peer exchange. Together, we will examine how heritage assets are being reactivated, how communities are built around place, and how new models of rural development are emerging across Europe.

Whether you are actively developing a project or looking for inspiration to inform your practice, Fieldlab offers direct access to the people, places, and lessons shaping the future of rural regeneration.
