<< Objectives >>The project aims to achieve the following objectives:- promote the implementation of activities aimed at waste reduction- make citizens understand how to implement a circular economy through upcycling- realise a first step towards a circular economy through upcycling- implement upcycling activities by creating 'Upcycling cafés' with the 'Repair café' methodology, thus bringing together people of all ages and social backgrounds and exchanging knowledge between different generations.<< Implementation >>The implementation is based on:- analysis and comparison of reuse/recycling methodologies referring to different materials- search for a reuse/recycling methodology common to all materials- development of a single methodology for the upcycling of materials based on the reuse/recycling methodology- application of this innovative methodology by implementing it in 'Upcycling cafés', places where materials are upcycled.<< Results >>At the end of the project the outcomes will be:-report containing an analysis of methodologies for reuse/recycling of various materials-guidelines defining a common thread of the methodologies used for upcycling materials-training of teachers/trainers for the use of these methodologies-the testing of a single methodology in relation to the upcycling of various materials-a handbook with fact sheets and videos for the upcycling of different materials following the identified methodology
