snap-shots from The CoGhent Box: a mini-museum in neighbourhoods?

 

What is the CoGhent Box, the travelling structure experimenting the CoGhent project innovation, how digitization of cultural data can enhance social cohesion in the city? The video investigates a day around the CoGhent Box installed in Watersportbaan neighbourhood: what is this travelling mini-museum? What are the citizens’ reactions so far, the difficulties to engage participation on the spot, the emerging local stories, the remaining dreams… Dive for 20 minutes of immersion in the core of the CoGhent project!
