What is make-a-thek about?
make-a-thek is an exciting project funded by the European Union, bringing together 9 international partners over the next 3 years.
Together, we're setting up creative maker spaces in public libraries to explore circular fashion, traditional crafts, and local innovation.
We envision public libraries as a place for circular economy experience and co-creation focused on fashion and crafts.
All inspired by the values of the New European Bauhaus: sustainability, inclusivity, and beauty.
Our pilot spaces will open in selected libraries in early 2026. And the best part? Everything we create – tools, guides, and ideas – will be shared openly, so others can build on it too.
