This workshop goes into the topic of evolving and remodelling education to fit the needs of an increasingly digital, decentralised society, and makes parallels with the maker/hacker movement to deduce the effect to mobility, knowledge and freedom in society as a result of free education. By investigating these aspects participants would be able to formulate strategic points that address current challenges in education and public policy around education.
Outcome expected: A report on benefits of proposed free education model for policy makers and grass-root movements such as hacker/maker movement.
Number of participant : 10 Moderator: Marko Kažić (Serbia)
To see what makers can do to align their activities with the “needs” of the EU; to get inspired about what we (makers) can propose to the EP as a new program or activity that is valuable, and coming from the makers’ movement; to see how to reach policy makers if makers have ideas
We are currently inviting speakers. Vulca Team will announce them one by one from December.
To observe solutions of integrating (or even focusing on) SDGs different maker spaces already made; to identify new ways of reaching SDGs through the makers’ movement
We are currently inviting speakers. Vulca Team will announce them one by one from December.
Introduction This workshop will invite attendees to consider the types of policies which policy makers might develop to attract people working across art and science. The focus will be on stimulating collaboration between policy makers and the maker/hacker movement, including discussion of the ways in which makerspaces can contribute to innovation strategies. This workshop stems from the learning of the Urban Manufacturing Interreg Europe project, a European-wide initiative started in 2017 to help makerspaces thrive and will be delivered by members of the STEAMhouse team.
What is the expected outcome of the workshop? Notes will be taken in a mind mapping format + the idea is mainly to join with other makers and hackers in order to create a european task force
For some years, MHackers have attracted the interest of researchers, as the number of studies on this topic showed. As an effect of this growing interest, Fablabs, and MHackers are more and more often requested to answer toll yet another survey, to further support the analysis with the aim of "better understanding the movement".
Even if some researchers are aware of the spirit of the "common" in the MHackers communities and will give back to the community their results, often they do not play the commons game. In this fourth seminar, we (Vulca) want to start a discussion between MHackers, researchers, and organizations about the ethics of research.
What are the roles of researchers and MHackers? What are their relative positions? What are the desirable patterns of engagement? Who owns the questions, the answers, the data, the interpretations?
