We’ve sourced a van and trailer in Berlin and it needs to make its way to Greece.<\/h3>\n

Mission: to drive our van on loan from a partnership with\u00a0Global Innovation Gathering<\/a> “Big Blue” & MRC trailer over the course of 9-days, covering 2000km from Berlin to Thessaloniki. Along the way, we will bring international community members\u00a0together to build it out into a fully functioning mobile resource unit and raise awareness of the refugee crisis.<\/p>\n

We will also host a series of\u00a0Week of Welcome dinners in line with World Refugee Day, to facilitate connections and open critical conversations in solidarity with those who are not able to so freely cross borders.<\/p>\n

Communitere will be arriving in Berlin on June 7th. Together with the Global Innovation Gathering and Fab Lab Siegen, we are looking to leverage the help & support of a growing network of makers, corporations, and sponsors, coupled with collaborative local and global community involvement. <\/span>We will be stopping at key places along the way, to conduct collaborative workshops, pop-up DIY maker events, tool drives, and community dinners.<\/span><\/p>\n

Along the way, we will be sharing stories & knowledge about refugee communities, resilience, crisis response and new contexts for innovation and cross-cultural collaboration.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our timeline: from June 7th, arrival in Berlin, to participate in the Berlin Maker Faire<\/a> June 10 – 11, our kick off event on June 11th – and hitting the road on June 12 – to reach Thessaloniki on June 21st. Our project just happens to coincide with the National Week of Making<\/a>, as well as World Refugee Day on June 20th. The\u00a0Discovery Channel Digital’s show “In the Making”, is documenting the entire journey.<\/p>\n

If you are along the route, we hope you will join us!<\/p>\n
