Where<\/strong>: Acropolis Park – Strovolos Living Lab & the Caves
When<\/strong>: Saturday 14 March, 10:00 \u2013 late<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are moments when different communities of care seem ready to meet: Soil work. Repair. Open software. Questions about children and smartphones. Philosophy at dusk. On 14 March, we are opening space for these threads to cross. This is a day with a structure, but not a finished script. It will take shape with those who come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf31 Morning: Replanting the Living Lab<\/strong>
10:00 \u2013 12:30 – We begin in the garden. Replanting. Soil care. Native varieties. Water awareness.
The Living Lab forms part of the FEED4FOOD project, which explores how urban food systems can become more resilient and socially grounded . On this day, that simply means learning together by working with the land. Growers, educators, children, first-timers, all welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\uddfa 13:00 Picnic Lunch<\/strong>
Bring something simple to share. Local and low-waste are appreciated. Presence is enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udd27 15:00 \u2013 17:30 Repair Caf\u00e9 in the Caves<\/strong>
The travelling Repair Caf\u00e9 series visits Strovolos this month. Bring: Small appliances, tools, clothing to mend, electronics, something you thought was finished. Repair shifts how we relate to the material world. It slows disposal. It keeps knowledge circulating. Children will have space to explore through careful disassembly and simple repair attempts, learning how things function by opening them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

**Parallel moments**<\/strong>
\ud83e\udd4f 15:00 Frisbee with the Nicosia Ultimate group (tbc)
\u265f\ufe0f 16:30 Chess with FIDE Master Nils R. Grotnes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udfa4 16:00 Short Contributions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

16:00 – On stepping away from Microsoft and Google, and what installing Linux means in practice.
16:30 – Smartphone Free Childhood Cyprus (TBC)
If you work on digital autonomy, open infrastructures, right to repair, or the developmental conditions of childhood in a digital environment, you are welcome to propose a short intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf00 18:00 Philosophy Circle: Re-enchanting the World <\/strong>
\u201cThose who love peace must learn to organise as effectively as those who love war.\u201d
We will sit together and think aloud: What kinds of organisation allow care to endure? How do ecological and digital responsibility intersect? What forms of coordination strengthen communities rather than hollow them out?
Open circle. No panel.
Inspired by the work of Silvia Federici and Martin Luther King Jr,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf89 21:00 Celebration <\/strong>
Music, conversation, movement. Bring instruments if you like!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We aim to leave the park better than we found it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
