Join us for a hands-on participatory workshop where design, making, and community come together to create tangible improvements for our shared neighbourhood.

Working alongside fellow participants, local residents, and the TransfoLAB team, you will contribute to the build-up of a real-life community project responding to the needs of the communal garden we share with our neighbours. Depending on the priorities identified by the community, the project may focus on creating spaces for neighbourhood cats, building shaded seating areas, refurbishing playground elements, or developing other small-scale interventions that enhance everyday life.

The workshop is designed for emerging creatives, students, makers, and DIY enthusiasts who are curious about how design can address social and environmental challenges through circular thinking and collective action.

Throughout the process, participants will explore the fundamentals of participatory design, learn how to safely use basic hand-held tools, and discover how reclaimed and discarded materials can be transformed into functional, meaningful, and beautiful community assets. Equally important, they will experience collaborative problem-solving, teamwork, and mutual support while working towards a shared goal.

No previous experience is required. Whether you are new to making or already have practical skills, this workshop offers an opportunity to learn, contribute, and connect while helping create positive change in the neighbourhood.

This workshop is part of the BAUTOPIA Festival organised by European Creative Hubs Network , taking place from 7–9 October 2026 in Athens.

At TransfoLAB ATH we are proposing a different kind of summer, one filled with creativity, experimentation, and hands-on making. Together, we’ll explore creative techniques across a wide range of materials and practices, with a focus on circularity, design thinking, and sustainable fabrication.

Each week, children will dive into different themes and techniques including making, jewellery, carpentry, textiles, crafts, and biomaterials. Through hands-on activities, they will learn how to discover or create new materials, design through creative reuse, and transform everyday waste into new objects and designs.

Every week will conclude with a group exhibition of the children’s creations, followed by a small celebration.

The main language of the program will be English, with support in Greek.
​

Languages: English, Greek

Place: Andrea Papandreou 85-87, 15232 Chalandri

Dates: 22 June 2026 until 17 July 2026 (four weeks)

Activity hours: Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 17:00

Capacity: min 6, max 12 children

Age: 7 to 12 years

Price: 150 €/week (10% discount for siblings, or for bookings for 2+ weeks)

​​The registration can be done online by calling us on 2106811141, sending an email to [email protected] or by filling the form.

May went by very quickly!

We had a Pop-up Market (from which I didn't take any photos 😱), amazing workshops and a visit to the creative ecosystem in Bratislava!

Oh and the three baby turtles 🐢 from last year have grown up! Come and meet them!
