WORKSHOP 1: CIRCULAR BY DESIGN
Participants will be introduced to the concepts of linear vs circular economy design. They will be encouraged to pull apart and analyze common products, identify materials and ways to redesign the products with circularity in mind. Inspired by the tools in the Makerspace, they will work from concept to creation supported by two dedicated facilitators.
