Join the Erasmus+ Green FabLabs Training Programme
Are you a cultural professional, creative practitioner, or someone working in the cultural sector in Cyprus? Would you like to gain new skills, grow your network across Europe, and contribute to creating inclusive, green, and community-based cultural spaces?
We are looking for 4 motivated individuals based in Cyprus to join the Green FabLabs international training programme, co-funded by Erasmus+. This unique opportunity will take you through three immersive 5-day training workshops in Spain (June 2025), Poland (September 2025), and Cyprus (2026).
What’s the Green FabLabs project all about?
The Erasmus+ KA2 “Green FabLabs” project empowers cultural workers to:

As a part of the project, 3 workshops will be organised:
Workshop 1 – Design Thinking & Inclusive Cultural Spaces
📍 Girona, Spain | 1–5 June 2025
Discover the principles of Design Thinking and learn how to co-create inclusive spaces that serve diverse communities. Explore the concept of FabLabs—shared learning and creative hubs—and prototype new ideas for community-driven cultural places.
Workshop 2 – Green FabLabs & Sensory-Friendly Design
📍 Wroclaw, Poland | 15–19 September 2025
Dive into ecological design thinking and learn how to build sensory-friendly, green spaces for learning and connection. From eco-awareness to urban gardening and accessible public design—this hands-on experience brings culture and sustainability together.
