Opis
JOIN US FOR 12 MONTHS IN A RURAL MAKERSPACE !
> A year. A village. A community. A launchpad
* LEARNING, MAKING AND SHARING (ALMOST) ANYTHING
Through their immersion in the daily life of Mountain Makers, volunteers will discover a community-driven space where local citizens of all ages come to learn, create and fix things together, engaging with open FabLab sessions, bringing the maker spirit into local school classrooms, and taking part in intergenerational exchanges with the Seniors Makers group.
* FABLAB AND GREEN TRANSITION
Through their participation in Mountain Makers' environmental initiatives, volunteers will explore how a rural makerspace can act concretely on the ecological transition of its territory, joining the monthly Repair Cafés, discovering the creative potential of upcycling through the DIY vehicle race, and contributing to the development of a shared garden with the local school.
