This event is aimed at everyone: makers, initiatives, organisations, professionals, interested parties and those affected. No prior knowledge is required - every voice counts: for an inclusive maker culture!
Together:
- Challenges and perspectives are made visible
- Experiences and best practices are shared
- Concrete steps for more accessibility, especially for the Stadtwirtschaft are developed
- Rethinking spaces and tools - for more openness, diversity and participation
Background: The Stadtfabrikanten from Chemnitz undertook a workshop exploration trip to France in spring with the aim of identifying makerspaces that have experience in the field of inclusion and creating accessibility. Experienced pioneers come to Chemnitz for the workshop, share their knowledge and develop new solutions together with committed local people.

Speakers
Hugues Aubin, co-founder of My Human Kit from Rennes in France. The FabLab is a human lab, a laboratory, a workshop for people. It invites people with disabilities to become the centre of their own project, i.e. to transform their disability into motivation. They are invited to participate in solving their problem and to put together a team that utilises the combined power of solidarity (All Together), DIY (Do It Yourself) and digital manufacturing (FabLab).
Mario Voigt, CEO of Stadtfabrikanten and founding member, and Babette Sperling (fashion designer) have been involved with FabLab Chemnitzer for many years and talk about the aha moments, inspiration and role models they met on the workshop trip.
Moderation: Maik Jähne, Board of the Association of Open Workshops and SLUB Makerspace team
