These infographics by @auralab<\/a> show how young people cope with making a living in 2020 through the eyes of our imaginary characters \u2013 Invisible Citizens, Zombie Generation, Militant Optimists & Lifestyle Hackers.<\/p>\n

\n

These scenarios are based on the research by European Alternatives<\/a> who\u2019ve travelled from community centres to skyscraper boardrooms, from country parks to street markets to uncover how young people are coping with the crisis in creative ways<\/strong> \u2013 from a rickshaw driver turned MBA student to a dustbin man turned serial entrepreneur, from social markets in Transylvania to cooperative villages in Andalucia.<\/p>\n

Come and see these at the Transeuropa Festival<\/a> and have inspired the design of urban games<\/strong> and a designathon <\/strong>where you can put yourself in the shoes of these imaginary characters to try and make a living a day in 2020\u2026without any money.<\/p>\n

\nMaking a Living<\/strong><\/p>\n

Across our transnational cooperative which brings young designers, makers & campaigners from cities across Europe \u2013 we were witnessing how different people were coping with the crisis. For many in the Mediterranean or Balkans like Barcelona, Rome or Belgrade, it was virtually impossible to find a job. In cities like London, Amsterdam or Berlin, it was the opposite, people couldn\u2019t catch a breadth as they were juggling several \u201cmini-jobs\u201d at a time. But at the same time, they were sharing stories of how their neighbourhoods were creating ways out of their situation.<\/p>\n

Zombie Generation or Lifestyle Hackers? Future Scenarios from Europe in 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

So we decided we\u2019d go and find out how young people across Europe cope with trying to make a living. We\u2019ve travelled from community centres to skyscraper boardrooms to local festivals across the continent to uncover how young people are coping with the crisis in creative ways<\/strong> \u2013 from a rickshaw driver turned MBA student<\/a>\u00a0to a dustbin man turned serial entrepreneur. We\u2019ve interviewed young people from urban parks<\/a>\u00a0to street markets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Building on the insights we\u2019ve uncovered, we\u2019ve designed scenarios<\/a>\u00a0on how people will make a living in 2020 through the eyes of our imaginary characters \u2013 Invisible Citizens, Zombie Generation, Militant Optimists and Lifestyle Hackers.<\/p>\n

Because we wanted to show that young people cope emotionally in different ways \u2013 from being scared about what to do next to seeking advice from anyone who will listen. We also wanted to highlight that through the process of coping, young people are \u201crehearsing\u201d what they want the future to look like and in the process, help others imagine different ways of living in society.<\/p>\n

From gaming techniques<\/a>\u00a0to help people develop their portfolio to documentaries<\/a>\u00a0to provoke social change via getting children to make market stalls<\/a>, we\u2019ve been inspired by the methods young entrepreneurs use to help people find meaning.<\/p>\n

As Catherine Greig from Make Good highlights in our interview<\/a>\u00a0with her \u201cPhysically making something, whether it\u2019s repairing a wall or painting is really powerful. Sometimes it\u2019s a totally tangential activity that allows you get deeper in the conversation and get different perspectives \u2013 the time it takes to make a jumper or build a wall.\u201d<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve helped young people to design their own festival<\/a>. That\u2019s why people will be able to play urban games at our festival with people from other cities across Europe imagining they had to make a living in 2020 and\u2026survive for a day. They will also be able take part in our designathon to develop creative solutions to help people find work.\"\"\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Using creative methods, we\u2019ve used young people\u2019s insights and ideas to develop a guide on how, through coping with the crisis, young people are creating new ways of making a living. From the bomeurs<\/a>\u00a0on the Spanish underground to French single mothers<\/a>\u00a0joining occupations via English graduates<\/a>\u00a0travelling Europe to discover alternatives.<\/p>\n

From social markets<\/a>in Romania to \u201ccooperativas integral<\/a>\u201d in Spain via commoning<\/a>in New Cross, young people are already exchanging their resources to help each other. This is why we\u2019re collaborating with Trade School<\/strong> to develop a pop-up skills exchange where people can learn how to develop coops to facilitating consensus to mapping opportunities to develop new projects. It\u2019s why we\u2019re hosting our festivals at two makerspaces at Lime Wharf<\/strong> and Makerversity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s why we\u2019re partnering with Borders to Cross<\/strong><\/a>to showcase practical experiments that push public, civic, and market organizations to rethink the ways they relate to each\u00a0other.<\/p>\n

Many people mock Generation Y as being more like Generation Why \u2013 a generation without a purpose. But many young people are creating new ways of making a living, which start from making sense of the world around them to \u201cmaking\u201d their way out of the crisis.<\/p>\n

From urban games to a designathon, from an exhibition on future scenarios to workshops on creative resistance, the Transeuropa Festival is happening in 13 cities across Europe to imagine, demand & create new ways of living.
