Mobile Crisis Response Makerspace Ukraine
Veröffentlicht am 7. February 2023
von CADUS-PR
Target country/region: Ukraine
Timeframe: May – October 2022
Short description: A mobile makerspace, equipped with tools, consumables, and artisans, supports local partner organizations in Ukraine to find solutions to the many infrastructural problems brought about by Russia’s war of aggression.
Project progress:
For the mobile workshop, CADUS has expanded a van and filled it with tools, equipment and consumables. This van has been on the road since mid-May 2022 with a team of craftsmen and makers in western Ukraine. There, they primarily strengthen existing local structures and, together with their Ukrainian partners, find solutions for interrupted supply chains and the (re)construction of urgently needed infrastructure. The first project: building shelters for internally displaced persons (IDPs) who have been driven out of the east of the country by the war.
Over the next three months, the mobile makerspace will carry out initial projects as a prototype for the overall TOLOCAR project, connecting existing German and Ukrainian networks and discussing concrete needs together with Ukrainian makerspaces and partner organizations. “Toloka” is a traditional form of solidarity support in Ukraine, which the project wants to reflect.
After that, more Makerspaces will follow and start their work in different places in Ukraine in consultation and close coordination with the Ukrainian partner organizations.
The pilot project will be implemented together with the association MitOst e.V. and the Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ).
Our Ukrainian partner organizations are: MetaLab, Insha Osvita, Platform Ostriv, Garage Hub and Building Ukraine Together (BUR).
Gaza: mindestens 14 humanitäre Helfer*innen durch israelisches Militär getötet
Wir sind fassungslos über diesen abermaligen Bruch internationalen Rechts von Seiten der israelischen Armee und verurteilen diesen Angriff auf unsere Kolleg*innen auf das Allerschärfste!
War in Gaza: More relentless than ever before
Since March 18, the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is history. The war continues and with it the killing and destruction, but it seems to be even more intense than before. There is no security for the people in Gaza and even for humanitarian aid workers it is more dangerous than before the agreement.
Krieg in Gaza: Unerbittlicher als je zuvor
Seit dem 18. März ist der Waffenstillstand zwischen Israel und der Hamas Geschichte. Der Krieg geht weiter und damit auch das Töten und Zerstören, wie es scheint aber noch heftiger als zuvor. Für die Menschen in Gaza gibt es keine Sicherheit und selbst für humanitäre Helfer*innen ist es gefährlicher als vor dem Abkommen.
