Let’s talk about, envision, and test inspiring and creative city making tools.
Join us at the Participatory City Making Lab on 15th of June during the Tech-festival Border Sessions in The Hague.
1. Think, discover and envision (new) tools for city making!
2. Bring your tools with you to present and test them!
3. Be part of the debate and active network of city making across Europe!
We, the Research Through Design (RTD) team of the project Participatory City Making, like to put our money where our mouth is by hosting this lab, as a participatory city making platform for knowledge sharing between peers and curious fellow city makers. You are welcome to show your tool, prototype or toolkit at the exhibit/marketplace, and contribute in participatory city making workshops, share insights in panels and at the un-conference.
This is what you need to do
