Our overall objectives were therefore to promote low-tech practices locally in each of the project's partner organisations and to turn them into benchmarks for their audiences. In this way, we also wanted the fruits of this project to benefit the fablab community as a whole, in order to promote the spread of the low-tech approach in the broadest sense. In order to meet these objectives, several sub-objectives had to be achieved Firstly, it was necessary for the project partners to be trained in the low-tech approach, so that each employee participating in the project would be fully capable of understanding the principle and the challenges, and thus be able to contribute to the implementation of a more low-tech approach within their organisation and beyond. Next, we had to work collectively to create concrete tools, with the aim of facilitating the dissemination of the low-tech approach in our locations and among our audiences.
We wanted to apply for this project, focusing on the theme of low-tech, because we noticed that the environmental impact of our activities as a Fablab was too often underestimated. Furthermore, we felt that, as a place that welcomes the public and potentially disseminates knowledge and skills, it was our responsibility to address this issue in order to better inform our users. Setting up an Erasmus+ project on this theme was an opportunity to partner with organisations that operate in different ways and, above all, in environments different from our own, which would allow us to take the most open-minded approach possible to the issue, rather than focusing solely on our own experience. but based on an overall vision that takes into account different specificities, whether in terms of types of organisation, territory or audiences.
