On March 26, we held a co-creation workshop with members of our support network.

Not a consultation. Not a focus group. An actual collaborative design session where community members asked powerful questions which can help shape the direction of our work.

Together, we explored how the Prototype Fund could pivot in the future, and which entry points might get us there.

Grateful to everyone who participated. This is what community-led tech looks like in practice.

Together with One Planet Lab @wobweger our four teams will present fresh, open-source prototypes designed to reduce ecological footprints through digital means!

Expect an evening of ideas, debate, and impact, as we explore how and in how far (open) technology, sufficiency, and systemic change can drive Switzerland toward a resilient, resource-light future.
