Call for Participation: Goethe Upcycling Competition. The theme for this year’s World Library and Information Congress is “Working together for the future”. We know that collaboration breeds innovation. Many great inventions have come from linking existing ideas.

Libraries create analog and digital spaces that bring creative people together to work on the challenges facing our societies and find solutions together. Two of these challenges are Sustainable Living and Generating Revenue for Startups in the Cultural and Creative Industries. The Upcycling workshop aims to address these two themes.

There are no restrictions on theme or content. The focus is on the theme of upcycling and the creative process. The new objects or library or community projects to be designed can serve a practical and/or purely artistic purpose. Mostly recycled materials and only a few new materials should be used.
