Spaces in Transformation: Social-Ecological Concepts for a Sustainable Future Society

About

Shaping the future – sustainably, creatively, concretely!

Are you interested in what we can do to combat climate change, biodiversity loss and social division in a lasting and sustainable way? How ecological, social and economic aspects can interact meaningfully in this context? Then join us on a journey through Thuringia – from Weimar to the Thuringian Forest. Let's explore these questions together, not just theoretically, but in a very practical way and with lots of creative and participatory methods!

In the first week, we will visit exciting ‘projects of change’ in Thuringia – people and initiatives that are already breaking new ground today. We will discuss, analyse and be inspired.

In the second week, we'll head out to the Thuringian Forest! For three days, we'll immerse ourselves in the relationship between people, nature and landscape – in the heart of the UNESCO Thuringian Forest Biosphere Reserve. Through creative activities, a pop-up exhibition, a dinner with locals and hands-on activities on the typical mountain meadows, we'll become part of the change ourselves.

Finally, we will open our open.atelier in Weimar – here, all impressions will come together and become visible.

Where:
Weimar & Thuringian Forest

When:
Monday to Sunday, 17–23 August in Weimar
