The Owl’s NestAt The Owl’s Nest you can get practically involved: make or repair something, work on your own project, learn a skill, share knowledge or take part in a workshop. What is possible depends on the location and the people who guide and carry out the work there.
The Owl’s Nest is a project built around a shareable work model. That work model can be carried out by different operators at different locations. A specific location gives it a local form, but no single location or operator defines or limits the project as a whole.
The project connects practical and technical work with learning, knowledge sharing, social involvement, recovery and participation. Individuals, professionals and organisations can take part, collaborate around activities or projects, or explore how the work model could also be carried out in another place.
Practical work, shared knowledge and room to move forward.
