The Verbund Offener Werkstätten (VOW) is a networking and lobbying association for the whole range of the non-commercial selfmade culture.
VOW helps people to start and carry on concrete places for individual work and collective self-empowerment as well as to make DIY activities visible – including all kinds of community driven workshops, ranging from traditional crafts production to the idea of shared high tech workshops like fablabs and hackerspaces.
