Places where sociability is exercised, third places, are of major importance in our democratic societies. Throughout history, it is in these places that people meet to create, entertain, discuss, criticise, challenge, disagree, exchange, resolve or cooperate.

Around the world today, these places are subject to many restrictions and pressures of all kinds. By undermining third places, the civil rights of communities are being targeted.

Third Place Making is a Swiss foundation whose mission is to strengthen third places and their communities around the world. We are committed to ensuring that every person and every community can access, create or preserve a third place to meet, exchange, strategise, build projects, or simply enjoy the joy of being together.

After all, we have always remade the world in third places.
