A well-installed community in USA and in the world through magazines, blogs, faires.

Based on an ethic of self-sufficiency, to the idea that ones can make anything he wants on itself.

Knowledge-sharing oriented community

Production by the masses

Fabrication Laboratory (Fablab)

Iniciated by MIT, it has borned in the idea of equiping a space with the tools to do “almost anything”

Tools that go from manual tools to 3D printers

International Network

Production by the masses

Open Source Hardware

“Open Source Hardware (OSHW) is a term for tangible artifacts -- machines, devices, or other physical things -- whose design has been released to the public in such a way that anyone can make, modify, distribute, and use those things.“

Sharing knowledge

Founded by EF Schumacher in 1996

Mission: To contribute to poor people’s wellbeing, using technology to challenge poverty by:

- Building the capabilities of poor men and women,- Improving their access to technical options and knowledge, - And working with them to influence social, economic and institutional systems for innovation and the use of technology.

A better sharing of knowledge

Through sharing of technology knowledge :

Help Global South to tackle poverty with an access to appropriate technology

Lead Global North from an industrialized economy to an artisan sustainable production system

« Not mass production, but production by the masses »

By sharing knowledge, tackle poverty in Global South and reach an artisan economy in Global North
