Workshops "With head, heart and hand"
Guided tour of autumn herbs with Tom
Discover the "Großer Garten" - the green centre of Dresden - on the way to the Carolaschlösschen. Along the way you will find some wild plants that have been used in cooking and for personal health for centuries. Discover the variety that is still available now in autumn and learn why autumn is the optimal time to harvest wild plants. Walking distance: approx. 2.5 km, normal comfortable footwear and weather appropriate clothing. Possible for people with walking difficulties.
Guide: Tom Zschaage (herbal guide, phytotherapist)
Discover your city in a new way with meinGrün.
We invite you to discover urban green space in a new way. With the help of the meinGrün app, we go on a walk together, following clues like a treasure hunt to find the way to our destination.
This will lead us to actively perceive the city and its green spaces from a different perspective - a new look at old familiar facts!
Participants in the tour need a charged smartphone with mobile data. The browser-based app can be found at: https://app.meingruen.org/#/ You are welcome to explore it in advance. In addition, attention should be paid to weather-appropriate clothing and light luggage.
Speaker: Kristin Fiedler, Robert Hecht (IÖR - meinGruen)
Measuring artificial light
In September 2021, Dresden will be part of a Germany-wide measuring campaign: An app co-designed by citizen scientists will be used to count light sources in public streets.
In the workshop, we will provide an overview of the project's co-design process. As we pass different light sources in the park Großer Garten, we will discuss the value of darkness and the ecological impacts of artificial light.
If you bring a smartphone, you can participate in the Dresden ‘nightlights’ campaign once it is dark.
Speakers: Teammembers of Nachtlicht-BüHNE (GFZ Potsdam)
Sauerkraut - Fermenting and preserving food
Fermentation is becoming more and more popular, for preserving, because it becomes delicious and offers a great way to refine your own harvest. In this workshop we will explore how exactly it works, what the principles of fermentation are and what actually happens microbiologically.
In keeping with the season, we will focus on the ingredients available at the moment: We will try our hand at different herb variations and venture into Korean Kim-Chi.
Speaker: Sebastian Kaiser (UFER-Projekte Dresden e.V.)
