Transforming Inclusion through Creativity, Co-design and Digital Fabrication

Brussels 26 November 2026, 10.00-13:00 CET

Join us for the final conference of the IDEA Project, an inspiring event showcasing how creativity, co-design, and digital fabrication can foster greater inclusion and participation for people with disabilities. During this interactive morning, project partners, educators, stakeholders, and participants will share the innovative approaches, tools, and prototypes developed throughout the project and discuss their potential to create more inclusive learning, employment, and social participation opportunities.

About the Conference

The IDEA project has explored how accessible digital fabrication, creative problem-solving, and co-design methodologies can empower people with disabilities to actively contribute to the design of solutions that respond to their needs. The conference will present the project’s main results, demonstrate innovative prototypes developed through the IDEA methodology, and offer participants practical insights into replicating inclusive learning models in their own organisations.
