How do we work with circularity in fab labs and makerspaces in the future? Come and help design the future design-driven tool for circularity in makerspaces with the Danish Danish Center in Happylab Vienna.

In this workshop, we will dive into a tweaked version of DDC’s tool, the Circular Strategies Wheel (https://ddc.dk/tools/tool-01-circular-strategies-wheel/), and work with how to apply it in a distributed design context. The workshop will help both makers identify new opportunities for increased circularity in their projects as well as contributing to insights and ideas for the kickstart of the design of a new resource that is to be developed for the Distributed Design Market Platform in the Spring of 2023 aiming to make makerspaces and fab labs more circular.

To participate in the workshop, it is preferable that you have some kind of relation/insights in a makerspace or fab lab. We hope to see as many participants as we have room for - first come, first served! The workshop will be held in English!
