Skill Swap Club
Wed, Aug 12 • 12:00 AM-12:00 AM
Skill Swap Club is a neighbor-to-neighbor exchange that reconnects people by sharing what we know. This idea emerged from a Design Gym workshop during Philly Tech Week, where strangers from different backgrounds came together to solve everyday human problems. Facilitated by Chitsanzo Isaac, our group identified skill swapping as a response to isolation and lack of accessible support systems.
