The Fifth consecutive Maker Faire Barcelona 2022, taking place on July 1-2, wants to explore and experience how the Maker Culture is playing a major role in how people learn and how talent is encouraged from formal and informal learning experiences to Learning The Long Life experiences. It also wishes to emphasise the need to rethink and activate a new economic, local, diversified, knowledge-based and in tune with the Barcelona Green Deal objectives, and Agenda 2030.
The Maker culture, an open innovation ecosystem today, offers opportunities to promote the preparation of flexible, innovative and resilient citizens in the face of changes, committed and active in creating new, self-sufficient, circular and sustainable production models.
As one of the players in the maker ecosystem, Distributed Design is proud to be co-organizing this year’s Maker Faire.
We’ve made a selection for you highlighting our participation on the program, the line-up of speakers and facilitators so you can pick your sessions easily!

It’s time we see the problem of plastic pollution as a problem of knowledge not waste. With the right knowledge a plastic bottle in the bin is not trash but a usable material.

Be sure to bring some of your waste plastic to this workshop as we will be using it! Please note, this workshop will be held in English.
