How can the creative industry and maker community help solve humanitarian challenges in a refugee camp?
During this collaborative design session LATRA, a humanitarian creative agency based in Lesvos-Greece, will introduce us to their socially-driven innovative practice, it’s fabrication lab inside a refugee camp, a newly established STEM Educational Gallery run by unaccompanied minors and their refugee-led Center for Art, Technology and Environment.
Participants will explore the field, get familiarized with the challenges and contribute to solutions.
How can you help humanitarian innovation lab LATRA? Are you a designer, maker, tinkerer with ideas that can contribute to humanitarian challenges? Do you want to contribute by making design, technology and sustainability accessible to refugee communities? Join us and contribute your skills to improve lives in a refugee camp.
This evening is in English. The entrance is € 5,- (including a drink).
