CRAB is the future rural creative hubs community.
Think maker labs in barns, coliving in cottages, and pop-up galleries in forgotten towns.
Right now, we’re scouting Europe’s most unexpected innovators and putting them on the map.
Check the map of CRAB spaces here.
Tracking village spaces where tech and creativity solve real problems. Spaces which don’t think only what happens under their roofs but keeping young people in town with local tech jobs, turning empty barns into places that boost the whole community, and teaching skills that cut energy costs for everyone nearby.
We designed a map full of creative spaces. Each dot on this map, located between mountains, forests, and small village streets is a unique story and inspiration of how we can build new worlds in the middle of nowhere.
Read this map slowly, partner-up with these spaces, travel to their events, or maybe get inspired to build something similar.
This past May, we hosted our first event in Treballu, Sardinia. 20 rural spaces joined us for a three-day networking event.
The next crab conference will happen in Sende, Spain, from 14-16 of February 2025.
