Documentary film that takes us inside the Manufacture Collaborative de Genève (MACO). A magical place, open to the public and dedicated to the circular, participative and sustainable economy. We discover how the initiators and users of MACO set themselves challenges every day and imagine
the economy of tomorrow: reuse of materials, shared tools, library of objects, Fab Lab. Utopia
or reality already underway? Either way, it’s working and can be replicated elsewhere. The Meyrin durable association encourages and supports the implementation of participative projects of a social, environmental, energy and economic nature, by and for the people of Meyrin.

9:45 pm Discussion/debate on the participatory and local circular economy
In the presence of director Isabelle Aeschlimann, director Yves Magat, representatives of
MACO, and 2nd and 3rd hand actors in the local textile and fashion sector. (List to be adapted/completed by
