XR, AI & Game Design
Workshops
At the Places Festival, you can not only experience technology, but also understand it!
The Places Festival stands for an active experience of extended reality technologies. That’s why, in addition to XR experiences and exhibitions, we also offer various workshop formats. These offer you the opportunity to learn more about various tech topics. Thematically, this also goes beyond the core topic of XR and extends into areas such as AI or game design. It doesn’t matter whether you are a beginner or an advanced user. There are also different offers for those with a professional or personal interest in tech topics and innovation.

c/o - Raum für Kooperation
Als die drei Kreativ-Freelancer Matthias Krentzek, Melanie Kemner und Simon Schlenke einen Raum suchten, an dem alle zusammen ihrer Arbeit nachgehen können, haben sie selbst die Initiative ergriffen und 2016 – noch an anderer Stelle -mit dem ℅ – raum für kooperation eben diesen Co-Working-Space geschaffen, den sie sich selbst immer erträumt hatten. Seit 2019 ist das c/o auf der Bochumer Straße beheimatet und bietet neben dem Co-Working-Angebot das ideale Umfeld für Workshops und Meetings jeglicher Art.

Workshop VENUES IN THE KREATIV.QUARTIER ÜCKENDORF
The workshops take place in the Kreativ.Quartier Gelsenkirchen-Ückendorf. For a long time, the image of the district was characterised by social problems through structural change. Today, the neighbourhood is undergoing radical change. In recent years, an active art and culture scene has developed in the empty spaces around Bochumer Straße. Here, artists, designers and musicians live and work next door to each other. More and more IT start-ups are also settling in the shops, backyards, residential and business premises. An authentic neighbourhood where art, the start-up scene and vibrant nightlife come together.
