FryskLab:
catalyst for digital literacy in libraries
FryskLab
FryskLab is an initiative of Fers and the Frisian public libraries. It is the first mobile Library FabLab in Europe (Januari 2014).
At it’s core is to improve digital literacy and maker skills for children, teenagers and adults in and beyond the mobile library lab environment.
Lawrence Lessig“The importance is that technique has been democratized. These tools of creativity have become tools of speech. It is a literacy for this generation. This is how our kids speak. It is how our kids think. It is what your kids are as they increasingly understand digital technologies and their relationship to themselves.”

Some quotes from the audience:
“Heard some good tips in a clear way. I'm curious about the recommendations I get in the Data Detox Kit”
“Very nice way to present privacy topics. It was a very nice way to bring the subject to the attention. I think I'll contact you.”
“Have sore jaws of laughter combined with super practical and useful tips.”
“"You are once again faced with the facts."
“All information, relaxed atmosphere, recommendations were repeated, interaction with the public. I hope you can do this in many places, this really has added value.”
