Low Tech Lab

subjects: economics

What is Low Tech?

The Low Tech approach focuses on using simple, durable, and easily repairable technologies to address today’s environmental challenges.
In this hands-on workshop, you will explore how accessible solutions can reduce our dependence on energy-intensive systems, while maintaining comfort and efficiency.

Workshop Content

Together, we will explore the core principles of Low Tech:

  • Using local and recycled materials

  • Prioritising repairable, modular, and low-impact designs

  • Creating solutions that meet real needs

  • Valuing common sense, collective intelligence, and shared know-how

The workshop combines practical demonstrations, group discussions, and hands-on thinking around everyday applications (mobility, energy, cooking, digital tools…).

Learning Goals

By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the Low Tech movement and its relevance for a sustainable future

  • Identify simple, accessible technologies that can replace complex or energy-hungry systems

  • Adopt Low Tech practices in daily life to reduce their ecological impact

  • Collaborate and share ideas to co-create local, community-based solutions
