We are surrounded by buildings — we live, learn, and sleep in them. But what role do these buildings play in nature and climate change? What role do they play in children's lives and aspirations?
Together, we will reflect on these complex issues and develop creative ideas and visions. We will discuss picture books, stories and narratives from the Global South that address the themes of 'houses, buildings and architecture'.
This training course is organized in collaboration with We-Building e.V.
If you work with children and young people and if you are interested in diverse picture books for group activities, you can register via the link above.
The seminar will be led by Hannah Albrecht and will be held in German.
We-Building e.V. has been working as an association in construction projects for development cooperation since 2015 and as an educational actor at schools in Berlin since 2018. Building on this experience, in this workshop we offer an insight into the importance of the construction and building sector for sustainable development. We will also use various methods to explore how these complex interrelationships can not only be made accessible to students, but also provide a framework for creativity and visions for the future.
