Baby-Kleidertauschparty aka. “Mini-Jacke wie Mini-Hose”

Samstag 11.05 > 14-18h > Mareschstr.10

Mamas und Papas, lasst uns Babyklamotten tauschen statt kaufen!
Hast du auch Hosen und Jacken zu hause, die zu groß, zu klein oder für die falsche Saison sind?
Wir laden dich zum Babyklamottentausch ein - bringe deine Sachen mit und tausche sie für passende Klamotten!

Wie funktioniert’s? Einfach Babyklamotten (0-3 Jahre, der Größe nach sortiert) mitbringen und nach neuen Sachen für die kleinen Herrchen und Fräuleinchen suchen.
Auch Kuchen und Co für unsere Tee-Ecke werden gesucht, zum gemeinsamen Sitzen und Austauschen!

On April 12 T&E invited to Naturlabor workshop about Terrariums. We tried to understand, how closed ecosystem can work and  make one of them by ourselves. 

Some tips, how to do make your own terrarium:

first goes a layer of small rocks  to prevent damage to plant roots, after that  some moss as a filter that will allow the water to filter down but not the soil. The third layer - soil, and then let your fantasy work - plants, moss forests, princes, deer, flamingos etc.

You can’t imagine, how long some of the gnomes was waiting for this moment to start life in their own mini worlds!

Join us and create your personal, creative Terrarium, a mini indoor garden on a transparent container, perfect to add a bit of outdoor beauty and peace to any living space.
Plants inside a Terrarium require low maintenance and are perfect even for people who don’t have enough time to care for their plants or just don’t have a green thumb.
Feel free to bring your own special container if you have one, otherwise there will be some available for you at the workshop.
Small objects to use as decoration of your Terrarium are welcome as well.

Das Kulturlabor Trial&Error e.V. hat mit der finanziellen Unterstützung des Quartiersmanagement Ganghoferstraße aus den Finanzmitteln des Programms “Soziale Stadt”, das Projekt „Kreative Umweltwerkstätten“ an der Eduard-Mörike-Schule in Neukölln durchgeführt, welches in Form von Arbeitsgruppen wöchentlich von Februar bis Juli 2012 stattgefunden hat.

Inhalt des Projektes: Entwickeln und Durchführen von Kreativ-Workshops. Die Workshops fanden wöchentlich mit einer Gruppe von 14 Kindern (4.- 6. Klasse) statt. Wir haben über die Verantwortung für unsere Umwelt diskutiert und anhand praktischer kreativer Workshops die Bedeutung unserer Natur und unseren Einfluss auf sie kennengelernt.

Ziel des Projektes: Wir finden es wichtig, Umweltthemen auf eine kreative Art und Weise anzugehen und sich bewusst zu werden, dass wir die Umwelt aktiv mitgestalten und verändern können.

Methode und pädagogische Haltung: Miteinbeziehen der Kinder in die Entwicklung der Inhalte und Aktivitäten der Workshops. Wir experimentierten außerdem mit der Kreativität als ein Mittel zur Förderung einer verantwortlichen Haltung gegenüber der Umwelt.

Mitwirkung:
Diese Werkzeugkiste ist das Ergebnis unserer Arbeit und dazu gedacht unsere Erfahrungen sowie das Ergebnis mit euch zu teilen und damit die Integration von Umweltthemen im Lehrplan der Schulen wie auch im Alltag zu unterstützen. Diese Werkzeugkiste kann von Dir erweitert werden, fühle Dich eingeladen und sei kreativ! Wenn Du Dich engagieren willst, Umweltthemen in die Schule zu integrieren, freuen wir uns sehr, Dich auf diesem Weg zu unterstützen und dies zu ermöglichen.
Die Inhalte sind opensource und unter creative commons veröffentlicht und könnt ihr gerne hier ansehen und runterladen.

In Naturlabor Easter workshop on March 29 we talked about weird and less weird traditions we use to do in Easter. Chocolate bunnies or egg battles? 

But the main reason we wanted to come together was to find out - How to colour Easter eggs by natural plants and patterns.

After experiments with onion skins, purple cabbage, chamomile, candle wax, blueberries, leaves, beets etc. and 30 min of curiosity (while the eggs were boiling) the result came out surprising but truly beautiful! That’s really worth to go back to the roots to awaken the old traditions our ancestry was familiar with!
