Breaking the Wall of Social Innovation

Annette Klinkert

Science Engagement

In our first MAKERTHON OWL- OPEN.PUBLIC.PLACES from 5-7 June 2020, 4 institutions from science, economy, policy making and society invited 60 scientists and creative minds from all generations and backgrounds to design and prototype innovative ideas for streets and squares, churches and museums, parks and playgrounds in times of Corona and beyond. The project aimed to “infuse” the “Maker Spirit” into science engagement and social innovation processes in the region East-Westphalia-Lippe (OWL).
