For this project, we were looking for people who are passionate about the topics sustainability, waste prevention and circular economyand are interested in developing ideas in cross-national teams.
The Open Call is aimed at students, young professionals and activists coming from the fields of arts, ecology, sustainability and circular economy. We are were looking for librarians who are interested in libraries as sustainable institutions.
Our ambition is bringing together a group of creative minds to work together on formats relating to the topics mentioned above. The intention is to strengthen libraries as places of informal learning and exchange.
From June to November 2024, Common Waste – Common Libraries is taking place with a programme of live and online formats.
A group of 17 people was selected to take part in the project, starting with a three-day Ideathon in Zagreb (5 - 7th June). During the Ideathon, transnational teams were formed and the participants received input and inspiration from mentors and experts.
In the following months the participants will develop in their teams educational formats for use and implementation in libraries (such as workshops, simulation games, board games, waste detox kit) until September.
The project language is English. The participants are from the following countries: Greece, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania, Serbia and Turkey.
Application Deadline was 21 April 2024.
