Massia – Massiaru koolimaja, Häädemeeste vald, 86004 Pärnumaa
MASSIA is a residency space for the professional and not-yet professional and welcomes individuals or groups from any field – artists, practitioners, scientists, activists, etc., who seek to research and determine their own conditions of work.
MASSIA is busy with notions of self-organisation and making alternatives possible.
With the garden, invested in herbal medicine, these ideas extend to the living surroundings and the notion of thriving in co-existence with differing others. Massia Officinale generates exchanges for people within the intersections of art, ecology, environmental studies, plant and common practices.

Radi Vidi Pats – Kuģinieku iela 5, Liepāja
The aim of the association is to promote sustainable development of Latvian society, cultural and environmental education through lifelong learning of young people and adults and participation in social processes. Over time, the association has also become involved in projects and activities promoting democracy. We care about an inclusive and open Liepaja society, which everyone can get involved in creating.
Ecotopia Biketour has actually already visited Radi Vidi Pats once, back in 2017. We are really looking forward to revisiting the project and experience what has changed (on both sides)!
Here’s a video from EBT 2017’s visit at the project:
