Fablab parade engages the local community to take part in the reusing process.

Shredder machine, 3D printing machine, extrusion machine, injection machine, compression machine, laser cutters, milling machine, and others are placed on the moving platform. The parade is a “happening”, which makes the society more aware of the waste management issues and shows the possibility to create new objects from the old ones. People attracted by the parade can bring plastic, wood, metal and textile waste to the storage points and take part in the reusing procedure.
The process involves creating different scale furniture and other public space elements with the fab lab machines. Some of them are used to reshape the public space and others can replace broken furniture for personal usage. The more the parade gets popular, the more the public takes over the private.
It is an opportunity to learn, celebrate and have a positive contribution in the public space.
