Do you have skills in bicycle repair? Habibi.Works is looking for you!
What is Habibi.Works?
Habibi.Works is a makerspace, a space of open workshops. We offer a platform for education, empowerment and social encounters for refugees and locals in the region of Ioannina, northern Greece.
We believe that people are the experts of their lives. We don’t see people who fled their countries as helpless victims, but as talented and experienced men, women and children who can be an enrichment for our societies – if we provide the structures that allow them to integrate. This is what Habibi.Works aims to do on a small scale.
The Bicycle Workshop Supervisor of Habibi.Works:
The Bicycle Workshop is one of the 13 unique working areas in our intercultural maker space.
Our Bicycle Workshop Supervisor is responsible for managing the bicycle workshop so that people have the opportunity to use the workshop independently, but also to gain and enhance their skills with bicycle repair and relevant tools. The Bicycle Workshop is a heavily used working area in Habibi.Works, frequented by people with know-how of bicycle repair as well as people who have no experience with metal yet.
Bicycles are an essential means of transport for refugees and asylum seekers who use the Habibi.Works makerspace. In the context of a remotely situated refugee camp, a bicycle is a necessity: it is not only free transport, but a crucial alternative to the extremely limited and unreliable public transport in rural areas.
