CONCEPT
Makers Unite connects refugees and EU locals by co-designing engaging products and narratives, starting with upcycling life vests and boats collected on Greek shores. The platform offers the first steps for refugees to regain dignity, to connect with locals, to build new networks and to restart their lives. It enables newcomers and EU citizens to develop meaningful relationships while creating products that support the circular economy. Started in Amsterdam and Athens, Makers Unite is a collaborative journey about learning how to share and develop a new common culture collectively. The revenue of the Makers Unite design collection will be directed to the makers and the refugee’s cause.
