Aspirations
Mixplace is a moving conversation where different forms of knowledge are continually exchanged between individuals and institutions. As our process unfolds, we remain committed to the principles articulated in our inaugural social contracts. These principles guide our educational activities and hold us accountable:
- Mixplace wants to enable a space outside of school that talks about the pressures of this world and how to overcome them.
- Mixplace wants to enable a common language across ages, neighborhoods, and institutions.
- Mixplace wants to enable exchanges between individuals and institutions, to negotiate the borders that define Philadelphia.
- Mixplace wants to enable a process through which all individuals and institutional partners will learn from each other, contributing to a renewed sense of trust and the development of a new civic imagination.
- Mixplace wants to enable neighborhood development and political representation by amplifying and archiving community voices, local histories, and everyday experiences.
- Mixplace wants to enable a space and provide tools for this conversation to take place.
