Community Re:Making Workshop
Date & Time: October7th, 10 AM - 3 PM
Location: Transfolab ATH (Andrea Papandreou 85-87, Chalandri 152 32)
Max. participants: 15
Join us for a hands-on participatory workshop where design, making, and community come together to create tangible improvements for our shared neighbourhood. Working alongside fellow participants, local residents, and the TransfoLAB team, you will contribute to the build-up of a real-life community project responding to the needs of the communal garden we share with our neighbours. Depending on the priorities identified by the community, the project may focus on creating spaces for neighbourhood cats, building shaded seating areas, refurbishing playground elements, or developing other small-scale interventions that enhance everyday life.
The workshop is designed for emerging creatives, students, makers, and DIY enthusiasts who are curious about how design can address social and environmental challenges through circular thinking and collective action.
Throughout the process, participants will explore the fundamentals of participatory design, learn how to safely use basic hand-held tools, and discover how reclaimed and discarded materials can be transformed into functional, meaningful, and beautiful community assets. Equally important, they will experience collaborative problem-solving, teamwork, and mutual support while working towards a shared goal.
No previous experience is required. Whether you are new to making or already have practical skills, this workshop offers an opportunity to learn, contribute, and connect while helping create positive change in the neighbourhood.
This workshop is part of the BAUTOPIA Festival, taking place from 7–9 October 2026 in Athens.
