Makerspaces are community-driven hubs for local production and empowerment, but often they go unnoticed by policymakers.
Within mAkE, we are trying to change that!
Research by the Fab City Foundation and Africa Makerspace Network highlights the need for supportive policies to help makerspaces thrive. Thanks to the input from 69 stakeholders.
Read the insights from the Common Policy Agenda and make sure to share it within your network!
The common policy agenda is a vital tool for steering policy engagements for makerspaces. It is crafted through an exchange of existing concepts and initiatives, that considers their relevance in both European and African contexts.
