At maakleerplek you get to actively create and learn, to inspire and be inspired. Together, we try to find answers to several of today and tomorrow’s challenges.
By being conscious of the resources we work with, new ideas arise. These kinds of experiences prompt questions about how we can adopt different, better ways of working. Here, we turn innovations into reality. We do this at workshops, in the ‘shared spaces’, the studios, the co-working space and in the ‘canteen’. In short: every activity and space has its own framework, which also acts to stimulate people’s freedom to come up with ideas and try things out.
Taking up on energy in the canteen
Meeting up with other people, creating and tasting things are key elements at the ‘canteen’. This is one of those spaces where people can regularly stop by, at any time. To come up with innovative ideas, read an interesting book, or to discover and create new flavours. Just attended a workshop or used the 3D-printer? Come and fill up your energy tank at our bar! Whatever you like doing, make some time for it in the ‘canteen’.
Attending a workshop or a course
