Do you believe art and design have a capacity to create green jobs, raise awareness, to change social habits, including our general attitude towards nature?

We are working on building an international community dealing with reuse, repurpose and upcycling of waste or useless/ dysfunctional products in order to provide sustainable design/art and a sustainable economy. With that aim, the project gives the opportunity to develop the skills and capacity of designers by organizing a 10 days working lab and developing a business model for upcycling to provide sustainable economic growth opportunities for the creative community.
