Designer Didi Aaslund talks about making bags of lifeboat garbage for refugees in Greece. What started as workshops turned into a small business for the good cause.

With collegae Floor Nagler, Didi Aaslund did something astonishing for the refugees in Lesbos earlier this year. They tackled different kind of problems at the refugee camp, their message went viral.

With work experience as a cook and a baker, crafts have always played an important role in Didi's life. Through her experiences as a craftsman and maker, she discovered new ways to interact with people.

Now she is a  student at the 'Hout- en Meubileringscollege' where she is learning how to make shoes bags and hats. - See more at: http://www.tedxarnhem.com/didi-aaslund.html
