Buinho Creative Hub & Agrupamento de Escolas nº1 de Beja

Deita-Gatos

This Learning Lab aims to create alternative learning incentives based on the repair movement. Hardware hacking and digital competences are used as educational and civic tools, addressing in particular students who are at risk of early school abandon. At the same time the goal is to enable creative and educational practices within the digital field.

And who is Deita-Gatos?

He was a traveling server, in times of deprivation during the first half of the XXth century in Portugal. Repairs of clothes, shoes and few electrical appliances prolonged their lives tremendously. The revival of sustainable practices becomes important in a current society of unrestrained consumerism.


Format: Recycling and repair sessions – from the collection of recyclables to a hands-on Workshop at the school or hub, giving the chosen objects new life
