Upcycling Day with úTULka
Explore recycling and upcycling through talks, hands-on workshops and demonstrations for all ages.
How can we give old things a new life?
This interactive event explores recycling, upcycling and sustainability through practical demonstrations and creative ideas for reusing materials. A short talk by Jana Drašarová, PhD, from the Department of Design at the Technical University of Liberec will open the programme, followed by workshops and hands-on stations. Bring old clothes and turn them into a new, one-of-a-kind piece yourself.
What is úTULka?
úTULka was founded by three students of the university’s Faculty of Textile Engineering, who wanted to bring students from different faculties together in a creative community. The project quickly won both the award for greatest social impact and the audience award at a university startup competition. The team has since organised popular clothing swaps, second-hand sales, student markets and workshops. Their most ambitious project so far, “Instalace–Exhibice–Demolice”, took place in the E2 building on the university square before its demolition. They wanted to give the building a fitting farewell while offering local creatives a space to show their talent.
