MiFRIENDLY CITIES Zoom-in 1: How an exemplary city/university partnership gives birth to a wellbeing FabLab
A bottom-up dominated adaptation to the needs of migrants and refugees in building a ‘Coventry for all’
UIA Expert Peter Wolkowinski shares how key words, such as “creating connectivity”, “wellbeing FabLab”, “adaptation to needs” and “conscious change process” intertwine in the Coventry project. He describes how “the deep and intricate relations between Coventry City Council and Coventry University (…) have blossomed to produce a very original use of the FabLab, which is usually more concentrated on technical innovativeness or employment and is generally open to all. For MiFriendly Cities it has been working on the technical competences of migrants and refugees and it has appeared that such intensive work, has transformed its vocation in part towards wellbeing and social relations.”
