The project raises awareness of the different possibilities, purpose and the importance of up-cycling and re-cycling.
💼 What the programme involves
Creative ways and means are used to show how broken, unwelcomed or superfluous bits and pieces are transformed through alternative production methods to become reusable and new objects. There will be workshops with different materials in regards to the topic of recycling and upcycling. You will get an introduction to the design, technique and use of different materials, tools and machines, as well as background information about re- and upcycling. Together we will reflect and discuss our own footprints and impacts within our daily actions and the collection of recycled materials will also be a part of it. We are planning to work with materials like ceramics, metal, textile and paper. There will be an exhibition of our creations at the end of the workcamp.
