MASARYK UNIVERSITY, FACULTY OF ARTS

This workshop explores how to co-create codes of conduct through participatory, diversity-centered approaches tailored to the respective requirements of individudal makerspaces and their members. Together, we’ll examine how to embed such codes into the varied formats, activities, and individual trajectories that define our communities. Participants are invited to share their challenges and strategies, working toward inclusive, actionable frameworks that reflect the dynamic realities of making.
