Maker Train Workshop

You're here because you (probably) just got your hands on a blank FAB25 postcard. Wondering what it’s all about? Scroll down to find out!

ONE CONNECTION AT A TIME

Do you remember the last time you sent a postcard? Maybe never? Or just never found the time during your holidays? Well, now you’ve got about two hours to finally do it!
It’s a fun and personal way to Bridge the Gap – whether it's with friends or colleagues who couldn’t make it, or just a quick hello to your family back home.
Finish your postcard during the ride and hand it in to our staff at the end – we’ll take care of the rest and send it anywhere in the world for free.

QUICK GUIDE

✉️ 1. POSTCARD KIT

Our Maker Train staff will soon start passing around boxes filled with stationery – there are two boxes per carriage.
When a box gets to you, pick a few items you’d like to use. Remember: sharing is caring! Feel free to trade with others or ask someone in a different row if they have what you need.

🎨 2. MAKE THE FRONT

Come up with a concept – or just start drawing and creating! It’s totally up to you. Your creativity has no limits.
The only rule: your postcard must stay flat and smooth. Stickers and a layer of tape are okay, but please avoid anything too bulky.

📝 3. ADD MESSAGE

Write your message on the back of the postcard – whatever you like! Bonus points if you share what you love about FAB25 💛

📬 4. ADD ADDRESS

Write down a full and valid address – including name, street, city, postal code, and country.
Make sure it’s written **clearly and legibly**, so it can be read at the post office without a problem 🙂

📸 5. TAKE A PHOTO

Take a photo of both sides of your postcard – just in case it gets lost, you’ll still have a copy.
And hey, we’d love to see it too! Share the front with us using #BridgeTheGap 📬

📮 6. HAND IT IN

Near the end of the ride, our Maker Train staff will come around to collect the finished postcards.
We’ll send them out for you in the following days – fingers crossed they arrive safely at their destination! 🤞

FAQ MAKER TRAIN

📮 Sorry, just one per person! That’s what our budget allows 😊
We want to make sure everyone gets a chance to send something special, so please hand in only one physical postcard per person.

💻 Want to send more? You can download the postcard as a PDF, fill it out digitally, and send it electronically – easy and unlimited!

✏️ To make sure your postcard arrives safely, please include:
– Full name of the recipient
– Street name + number
– City + ZIP/postal code
– Country (very important for international delivery!)

The clearer the address, the faster and safer the delivery. No worries if you're unsure – just ask the FAB25 team to double-check it with you before handing it in.

🚂 No, sorry! We can only send postcards that are handed in during or immediately after the Maker Train ride. That’s your moment to finish it – and it’s part of the experience!

💌 Missed the chance? No worries! You can still send it yourself – just grab a standard international stamp at any post office or newsagent's shop and drop it in a mailbox.

🎁 Want to keep your postcard instead of sending it? Go for it – it’s yours to keep if you’d rather save it as a FAB25 memory.
