Creaction - Exchanging creative solutions for social change
A fun team coordinated by the Kulturlabor Trial & Error, traveled the last 7th of February to the city of Avilés (Spain) with the goal of exchanging creativity ideas for social change with young people from Serbia, Macedonia, Slovenia and Italy and from the local community in Asturias.
The exchange was hosted by the asturian association Ye Too Ponese. For 7 days we dived in the theory and culture of creative activism, we listed concerns and problems we would like to change and we put in practice some actions in the public space to create awareness about them.
We documented many of the actions and the results can be found soon in www.mastazine.net
Open call for participants!
Stream for change - Let’s take action and create our own media!
Kulturlabor Trial&Error is building a local action team in Berlin to do regular actions for the next months. Do you want to express your opinion about the world? Do you think that the media doesn’t represent you and your ideals? We want to create our own media
Join our team for an international project with partners in Greece, Austria, Spain and facilitated by a team in Czech Republic.
We will have a meeting in Berlin the 2nd week of March to discuss what topics we want to work on and what actions can we make to improve awareness.
Contact Tau through email@trial-error.org for more information and joining.
Trash of the Month > Clothes Swap & Coconuts!
This moths Trash of the month —Tuesday 14.2— was a beautiful collaboration with the Kleidertausch event from the neuköllner Tauschring and Café Dritter Raum and 60 something drink-coconuts we happened to save from the bin and shared with friends and Kiezbewohner.
For comming swap-events look at www.richardkiez.net and www.cafe-dritter-raum.de
It was great fun swapping and sipping away and warming our cold feet on the cosy fire in the Dritter Raum.
On the 28th of February there will be the next Clothes Swap event co-organised with the Dritter Raum and Trial&Error> 15:00- 20:00 > Hertzbergstraße 14
Our lovely Kiezmobil will also feature again, this time with a mobile swap-remake-station!
Hope to see you there!
Your Trial&Error team
January 21st. and 22nd., Trial&Error was invited to Köln, to take part in the “Messe der Meister von Morgen” (M.M.M.). We were invited by Büromacht to this event, developed inside the activites of the Passagen 2012, and it was a pleasure to make a workshop and spend time creating some stuff from “real trash” (carefully collected) with the very nice people from Jack in the Box (amazing works!) and all the visitors!
We enjoyed a lot with all workshops that took part there, and is really nice to meet so many upcyclers to create together.
Thank you to all the people were there, specially to all the crew from Büromacht and Jack In The Box!! We hope come back to Köln soon!

News into art!
The last trash of the month was a sticky one! A deep dive into our paper stash in the basement, some glue and a beautiful sticky shiny gold and silvertape thrown away by the printer next door, got us into a nice makeover mood… find the results in the streets! ;)
Trial & Error wins Trenntwende competition!
Hurray! On the 23rd of November we had the honor to collect the first price in the category of private households, in the Trenntwende competition - which we won with the trash of the month! Thanks to everyone of you who have been part of organizing! We are still thinking of what to do with the price money - but for sure it will feed into a nice project!! Thank you everyone!!! :)
