Ephra x Zur Nachahmung empfohlen
What does sustainability mean?
What do we need to live in our environment, neighbourhood, city?
Ephra explores the exhibition Zur Nachahmung empfohlen in UferHallen together with an inter-grade group. The aim is to explore the topic of sustainability with the children in dialogue and creative exercises. What does sustainability mean? And what does it mean for today's children to grow up in a world where raw materials are becoming increasingly scarce and the climate is changing at breakneck speed? Starting from our own needs and strengths, we want to consider what a communal life in the future might look like. What do we actually need to live in our environment, neighbourhood, city?
Using the artistic positions of Dodi Reifenberg, Folke Köbberling and Vanessa Ramos-Velasquez, the children explore the exhibition playfully and with different senses. The focus is on the question of sustainability - a complicated concept that the children make tangible at the beginning of the workshop with the help of various everyday narratives. In practical exercises, the pupils also deal with the questions: Who am I actually and what am I good at? What are my characteristics and why are they important to me? What makes me different from others and how can I use this for my/our future? What do I need in my neighbourhood/environment/city?
What are raw materials? What do we have too much of and what do we have too little of in the world? The thoughts and discoveries found are reflected and evaluated at the end through a thought network of words and in a final round.
