We can make a positive impact in our communities with creativity and collaboration without fear of failure - one experiment at a time. Are you with us?
Sköpunartorg is an online town square where people can get together, submit their ideas for experiments and open them up for input and discussion. Individuals can gauge interest for events and festivals, companies can reach their customers directly and gain new insight, inspiration, and ideas. Municipalities and institutions can make the best use of their resources by engaging in an active dialogue with communities. If the project needs funding, Sköpunartorg offers a crowdfunding option. When the experiment is carried out, the innovators report back on the successes of their projects and what needed more work. Together, we learn and grow.
Sköpunartorg is a democratic digital platform for experimental projects to improve our communities. At Sköpunartorg we work together on social innovation to solve problems and improve our community. We experiment, make mistakes, learn from them and keep going.
Our goal is to create a venue where people with different strengths can work together for the common good.
Sköpunartorg is for everyone who wants to use their creative powers for the good of the urban society - individuals, groups, businesses, institutions, as well as those who want to help fund interesting urban experiments.

We follow the basic principles of open innovation. We work together, communicating and sharing during the process for a better end result. Admins offer advice and constructive comments when possible, but users are fully responsible for their own content (e.g. image rights), actions, and projects, and for making sure they have everything they need before starting their experiments.
