Hi all!
I get in touch because I’m organizing a workshop in Brussels together with Serena Cangiano (SUPSI) within DSI4EU an EU-funded project on Digital Social Innovation in a consortium including NESTA, WAAG, SUPSI.(digitalsocial.eu).
During European Maker Week, on May 31st afternoon in Brussels, we offer a free workshop and I was wondering if one or more of you could be interested in taking part because the topic is very close to your area of activity. Read description below.
It would be great also if you could suggest us people around the area of Brussels or in the Netherlands that might be interested in joining the workshop.
thank you in advance for your feedback.
best
Zoe
