Caretaking, Naturally Together

Spore initiates a long-term exchange with a seventh-grade class of Gemeinschaftsschule auf dem Campus Rütli. The project will examine forms of living and collective practices of care towards environmental regeneration. The outcome will be a collaboratively produced music video. 

Exposing the participants to the many symbiotic relationships within nature, they will learn about different forms of caretaking including networks of trees sharing nutrients, farmers working within community supported agriculture, and institutional forms of care such as forestry. These experiences will be translated by the participants, with the support of film-makers, musicians and script-writers into a music video. This collectively produced cultural tool will be presented to the public and shared online at the end of the project. 

The project is a cooperation between Spore Initiative and a seventh-grade class of the Gemeinschaftsschule Campus Rütli in collaboration with the Pädagogische Werkstatt.
