Explore the Circular Spaces' circular economy tools and learning resources for more sustainable makerspaces and innovation
Tech-Park Kaunas as a part of the Interreg BSR Circular Spaces team provides digital tools and materials to support makerspaces, startups, SMEs, and other stakeholders in the transition towards more sustainable and circular practices. These resources offer structured guidance, practical insights, and networking opportunities to help organizations integrate circular economy principles effectively. Whether through structured training, strategic guidelines, or digital collaboration, these tools aim to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of makerspaces across the Baltic Sea Region.
One of the core resources is the Circular Makerspaces Training Program, which comprises nine essential topics covering various aspects of circularity. The program offers flexibility, allowing participants to either complete all topics sequentially or select specific ones based on their needs. From circular business models to design thinking, this program equips makers and innovators with the knowledge and strategies required to implement circular economy principles in their creative and production processes.
Complementing the training program, the Guidelines "Transformation Into Circular Makerspaces" serve as a comprehensive roadmap for makerspaces looking to adopt circular practices. These guidelines outline ten key aspects necessary for a successful transformation, each accompanied by a detailed checklist of actions. Additionally, the guide provides a curated selection of tools and templates, making it easier for makerspaces to implement these strategies effectively and transition toward more sustainable operations.
To foster collaboration and knowledge-sharing, the "Digital Circular Collaboration Tool" enables makers, SMEs, startups, and suppliers to connect, exchange ideas, and implement sustainable practices together. This digital platform not only supports the adaptation to circular economy principles but also serves as a networking hub for those seeking sustainability partnerships. To ensure a seamless user experience, Digital Tool Guidelines in the form of FAQs have been developed, helping users navigate the platform efficiently.
