Hi Everyone!
New at our Fablab studio, our shredder has arrived! Built locally by the amazing Mikel at FACTO Lab Barcelona and supported all the way in finance and entrepreneur advice by the much loved, Aziza thank you!! It has been a great experience starting a new studio at Learnlife around this and especially co-leading it with Pep, our creator learner. He comes with immense determination and excitement for the world of sustainable design! Below, you can see our new machine that shreds recycled plastic to chips, that can then be remodelled into anything. We are aiming to have a sheet press by September to manufacture just about anything! Pep has been documenting the journey here if you wish to follow! We have several local partners donating plastic, but if any team members have plastic at home, please drop it to the Urban Hub!
Music - Our collaboration with Eswatini Lilima School is growing, they have shared singing videos for a shared song, artwork, dance moves and poems! I am excited to see how it grows..
