The task will be to find usful "cracks" to make a small project in. They will divide into working groups and all get a similar tool set consisting of brooms, shovels, working vests, gloves and an optional last tool. The last tool can be tape, hose clamp, fabric, rope, for creating things within the space. All the spaces will be visited on day two and all groups will have a small opening of the space with talks and drinks.
