For Children between 6 and 10 years
in German
People around the world have very different relationships with nature. Many Indigenous cultures see nature as sacred and alive: rivers, forests and animals are ancestors or spirits. In contrast, Western traditions have often seen nature as separate from humans, a resource to be exploited. But this is changing as more people seek to reconnect with the natural world. These global narratives show that nature is more than just the environment: it is a relationship we shape through stories, values and choices.

Based on contemporary picture books with different narratives about nature, artist Elisa Bauer will explore the possibilities of alternative narratives through visual language in a three-day workshop during the Berlin summer holidays. Children could explore the Spore Initiative spaces: garden, studio, and library. Through aesthetics, experimentation and observation, the participants will share and experience new narratives through picture books.
Workshop for children between 6 and 10 years. Only with registration and limited capacity: mariela.n@spore-initiative.org
The workshop will be held in German.
