Our report is ready!
Curious about the impact of the Wild Wild Wald project? Here’s what we’ve been up to in a nutshell.
Objectives:
- Connect Kirchberg inhabitants and visitors with surrounding nature and biodiversity of the area, expand the imaginary borders;
- Help kids, youths and adults meet and try diverse nature related activities (including, DYI) in the context of co-creation and engagement;
- Raise awareness through exchange about nature, its preservation and a sustainable way of living;
- Collect and built concrete objects made of natural materials;
- Collect ideas and preferences of participants for future nature neighbourhood activities (e.g. further events and workshops);
- Including recommendations for the future schools that will be in Kirchberg.
Through Wild Wild Wald project, our aim was to connect the inhabitants and neighbours of the Kirchberg with a feeling of the real nearby forest, the Grünewald forest. Although the forest is in a walking distance of the residential area, it seems
that only few inhabitants are aware of its existence. While designing this intergenerational project, we have decided to put the ideas of togetherness and nature in its core. We wanted that people of different ages, including youth, young families with kids and the elderly come together in the Kirchberg forest to exchange knowledge and to discover nature through different activities: discovering hidden paths like explorers of the new lands, learning about birds, trees, berries and building with your own hands using natural materials!
And this is how we did it…
KICK-OFF BBQ AT THE QUARTIER STUFF
We partnered up with Fonds Kirchberg at a local BBQ to explain the project, promote the activities of the Œuvre and the
ImpACT scheme, pre-register participants, to define other needs & ideate about the activities.
Wild Wild Wald Forest Workshop
Together with the Ministère de l’Environnement, du Climat et du Développement durable, Administration de la nature et
des forêts, we co-created a ‘map’ of the forest (perception vs reality) & learned about the nature, plants and animals. We also
created a mandala out of natural materials, and collected materials for the next workshop.
Little Wild Wald Workshop
We partnered up with Food for Your Senses to design a second workshop dedicated to kids and
crafts based on natural materials from the forest, and it was facilitated by a Creative Coach.
