Making Matters: Circular Cultures is the European arm of Making Matters, a global programme aiming to foster a global dialogue around circular design.
Circular Cultures creates new networks across the UK and Europe for creative professionals working in design who are passionate about sustainability and circularity. The programme aims to generate a more critical dialogue around these themes, supporting skills development and knowledge-sharing.
The programme currently operates across the UK, Greece, Italy, Poland, Romania, and Spain. Partners include the Onassis Foundation, Re-Barcelona, MODA-FAD, City of Warsaw, Romania Design Week, BASE Milan, University of the Arts London and Design Manchester.
The programme is structured around three pillars:

- Participatory learnings and trainings such as the Worth Partnership Project Award (all EU), Circular Cultures Open Studios (all EU), Sustainable Makers Assembly Workshop (Spain), Circular Cultures Design School (Greece)
