Inclusive Maker Education: Online Event

The Inclusive maker education Event scheduled for May 20th 2021 is an opportunity to share the outputs and results of Makerspace 4 Inclusion with representatives of educational institutions, youth centres, instructional environments, NGOs, youth practitioners, individuals affiliated to local maker communities, and local policy makers. The Event also creates a platform to discuss and exchange about inclusion and maker education. Together we set the Multiplier Effect of the project in motion!

The event will take place on ZOOM and everyone is welcome to join. There will be practical workshops and debate sessions organized by the team, which will touch upon the deliverables produced by the international consortium as well as our experience relating to maker education and inclusion of young people. Besides the

contributions by the Makerspace 4 Inclusion team, we expect to host 6 invited speakers for panel discussions.
