ABSTRACT
The People's Kitchens established in the camps usually occupied a central location, from where they could supply food for the activities encircling them while also constituting an informal meeting point for everyone in the camp. The endeavour to break into the structure, reorganize experiences and achieve a collective orientation therefore constitutes the focus of progressively self-empowering occupation movements. Apart from the open programme offered by such people's libraries, the Occupy Movement's concern with education was manifested all in the numerous courses, workshops and seminars held in various self-founded, free universities. Through a process of discussion, the question of who cares for the community was replaced by that of how care is provided and who requires care. It was thus neither an abstract image of the public sphere nor the clear contours of an occupied space but the concrete experience of shared and repeatedly reframed situations that played the decisive role in the global village of the Occupy Movement.
