Remix The School
Implementing food recycling and upcycling principles at school
The Challenge
Transform the formal educational environment through creativity and collaborative practices.
Type of Project
Remix The School (RTS) is a pilot project part of the Creative FLIP project co-funded by the EU (Agreement No: EAC-2018-0291).
Our Solution
Empowering people in the educational ecosystem to be digital social innovators and drivers of change.
Project Outputs
New learning dimensions and projects with food waste.
The project
Remix The School (RTS) is a project of Fab Lab Barcelona at IAAC in collaboration with the Escola Sant Martí Poblenou and co-financed by the Creative Flips EU Project.
Creative FLIP – Finance, Learning, Innovation and Patenting aims to support healthy and sustainable ecosystems for Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs). As part of the project, the consortium launched an Open Call for Learning Labs: innovative pilot projects for cooperation between creative hubs and educational institutions with the goal of promoting transversal and creative skills transfer.
RTS proposes to implement in the formal educational environment projects with food waste by means of craft and artisan techniques and digital manufacturing. It’s an iteration of the Remix El Barrio project and we expect to apply the best practices, insights and methodologies developed throughout the Do-It Europe and Siscode EU projects.
Our Contribution
This project will help us consolidate the relationship between the school and creative hub. This relationship aims to transform the school to make it more creative, inclusive, maker minded, collaborative and circular.
Our impact goes further by aiming to break down typical walls by making the school more open to the neighbourhood through empowering people in the educational ecosystem to be digital social innovators and drivers of change in their local community.
Remix The School will also help us to accompany teachers, students and families to develop learning skillsets such as independence, maker skills, initiative and intentionality, problem solving and critical thinking, conceptual understanding, circular-collaborative and community skills, collective impact, and social and emotional engagement.
