Children are a reminder of who we are; they are the cornerstone of our society’s future; they are the litmus test of our humanity.

Creativity has had a crucial impact on today's inter-connected world. Co-creation and open sources have transformed contemporary innovation and production processes. The maker movement, creative hubs and fab-labs are at the centre of these developments and are rapidly spreading, but their development has not been paralleled by full interconnection between the centres concerned.  Several relevant initiatives are being funded under different EU programmes such as Erasmus+, Creative Europe, the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the European Social Fund (ESF), Horizon, Cosme, i-Portunus and other initiatives. Mobility is an ideal way to strengthen networks and to encourage innovation and co-creation among them.
