The gathering serves the purpose to create a flexible centre for the exchange of information, knowledge, ways and means to cooperate by focusing on creative team work and the improvement of personal team and networking skills, in and between project groups and across genre boundaries. To reach this, attendents will concentrate on the process of development, the single steps of progress, the initiation and building of cooperation, understanding and trust.

The goal is a structure, that creates freedom and space for the development of creative processes and provides a social and technical frame for solid work flows.

The grande finale is a workshow to present the developed projects and test results.

Schmiede is located in a huge turn of the century salt refinery, which provides the the right amount of space for the Schmiede Network and its equipment to come together and work and play. The Schmiede network is supported by Carhartt Streetwear since day one.
