Code, beads and yarns - a transdisciplinary approach to patternmaking - In recent years, there has been a growing interest in combining traditional handicrafts with modern technology. One particularly exciting area of exploration is the intersection of knitting and coding. This project aims to create a platform where people can learn how to code through knitting, providing an accessible and engaging way to learn new skills.
A multi-part, hybrid format geared to promote sustainable, local library initiatives.
Green Libraries : Renewing the Future

We invite Libraries and Librarians in South Africa who want to explore what 'sustainability' means to them. We are looking for projects that explore how they can develop strategies and tools to promote sustainability in their work and organization, and in their contact with and impact on their communities, to apply to take part in this project.
