TOG Heads to Cuenca for the VULCA Seminar
This week we’re sending a team from TOG Hackerspace to Cuenca, Spain, for the VULCA Seminar , running from 9 to 13 November . It’s the first time the seminar has been held in Spain, and this year we’ll be getting together with makers from across Europe at the Museo de las Ciencias de Castilla-La Mancha, with the support of FabLab Cuenca. There’ll be workshops, time to work on joint projects, and a public Repair Café to round off the week. How TOG got involved We applied to join VULCA in December 2025 and became a makerspace member in January. We already knew some of the people in the network from visiting their spaces and running workshops together. Joining gave us a way to build on those friendships and open up more opportunities for TOG members to visit other spaces, share what we do in Dublin and bring a few ideas home to Kylemore Road. What a maker exchange looks like We’ve been sending TOG members on maker mobility trips. In practice, that can mean spending a few days in another makerspace, running a workshop with the local team and seeing how they do things. In
