Commonalities bring entities together when there is one goal to be achieved. As their own CSR initiative, the architectural studio of Crossboundaries created “Live With Less” (LWL), a project which brings together communities and creates awareness by hosting swapping events, linking different environmental initiatives and offering an open platform of common values. In March 2016, Crossboundaries started to use its own space for people to get together. Since then, many events and initiatives were co-organized and co-curated. From 2018, about 20 LWL events were organized yearly. In the year 2019 alone, the team collected 1.9 tons of clothing and items of which 65% have been reused, and distributed further to partners, such as the Migrant Children’s Foundation. In the future, the project team hopes that similar initiatives will expand further. Special emphasis will be placed on education and environmental protection.
