mobility scheme and knowledge exchange programme

The make-a-thek Mobility Scheme and Knowledge Exchange Programme connects creative spaces, public libraries, and makers across Europe and beyond to share skills in circular fashion, traditional crafts, and technology.

Each year, the programme will support up to 12 participants through the Mobility Scheme (Track A) and up to 12 participants through the Knowledge Exchange Programme (Track B). Participants are selected through an annual rolling open call and matched with opportunities across the make-a-thek network.

There are three main areas of the programme:

• Circular Fashion

• Digitising Traditional Crafts

• Open Technologies

Activities may take place at the Pilot library or at a partner venue, makerspace, festival or other community location within the host region.
