To show the importance of the work in a group on the ideas and the ways of the realization. As a result people were actively helping with events’ organization. E.g. posters were done by different designers, interested in public gatherings. The main outcome of the meetings was “snow figures festival - workshop” that was supported by professionals (organization and facilities) and the city government (security-safety). The next step became questionnaires and a web-page that informs citizens about importance of casual meetings and helping each other. Also the page functioned as citizens’ ideas collector.
