The Circular Cities Challenge is a week-long (July 3 – July 7 2023), 40+ hour programme that supports 20+ young creatives to ideate and prototype circular design strategies to support the implementation of the Circular Economy through waste material transformation challenges in 4 design contexts provided by key stakeholders in the city of Barcelona. Interdisciplinary teams will tackle challenges on food (with Mercabarna), energy (with UPC-EIT InnoEnergy Masters in Energy for Smart Cities), textiles (with Reimagine Textile and RMT S.A.), and natural waste (with Materfad and Clic Recycle) The Creative Talents selected for the programme prototype between Fab Lab Barcelona and TransfoLAB.
