Fab Labs are much more than laboratories. By offering digital fabrication services, fab labs have an incredible potential to empower individuals, promoting maker culture and developing an open source movement based on the paradigm of commons based peer production, that has an extremely powerful impact at the local level in the community.
Guided by Dialogue Café´s mission on promoting social innovation, knowledge sharing and networking, we aim at providing an important role to fab labs as hubs for socialization and innovation in our programme of activities whether by inviting Fab Labs representatives to share their experiences and models of support. This session is a follow-up of the Fab Labs Global Exchange held in 2018.
