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
