Working with the social innovation team their objective was to deliver more creative outlets and opportunities to the young citizens. I was invited to collaborate and brought my knowledge in Textile and Surface design and established a printing workshop. The screen print workshop aims to be a permanent facility at Børnenes Jord. It offers a creative outlet for young citizens but also has the potential to create a space for citizens to design products and develop entrepreneurship skills.
