WHAT IS THE CREATIVITY CLUB?

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

LIBRARIES PARTICIPATING IN THE PROJECT

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner content_width=”grid” center_bck_image=”no” css=”.vc_custom_1544614333306{padding-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

In our project we define the creativity club as a space run by a library alone or in cooperation with another institution or organisation, where people can create together and experiment with the use of various kinds of technologies available there.

Within this initiative we refer to ideas of maker movement and the concept of ‘makerspace’ – publicly available spaces where people come to meet and use tools and resources available there, in order to learn through experimentation and play, collaborate and create together as well as to carry out their own projects, share knowledge and solve problems. The ‘creativity club’ may be a makerspace-like place, but also any other creative space in the library where various organisational models can be adapted depending on the needs of the given community.
You can find out more about how such spaces in libraries here: Starting a makerspace in the library.
