My musical vision in a broader sense is to reach, inspire and connect people with different backgrounds to work all together on a vibrant sustainable world.

19:40 – Do Something! Volunteering at a Refugee Camp in Greece – Natalie Holmes (EN)
Unlike here in Berlin, there’s a declining number of organizations in Greece actively assisting with the ongoing humanitarian crisis. Tens and even hundreds of refugees from war torn countries continue to arrive daily. While the big-picture solutions may be political, there are things you can do on a personal level to directly impact people’s lives. Refugee Support operates in camps across mainland Greece to deliver aid with dignity. Find out about the valuable work they do from a recent volunteer, how you can get involved, and what to expect from the experience.
Natalie Holmes Natalie is a British freelance writer who has lived in Berlin for 10 years. She writes about cities, culture, and the intersection of science and technology. She is also the co-founder of two local initiatives: Mind the Gap, a community working to close the gender wealth & income gaps; and DangerousTech, a platform for digital rights and social impact innovation. https://natalieholmes.contently.com/ http://mindthegaphub.com/ https://www.facebook.com/dangeroustech/
Refugee Support Europe Refugee Support offers humanitarian aid with dignity to refugees, while also supporting the local economy. A small, dynamic organization that relies on caring volunteers to deliver our aid with dignity, they work in partnership with supporters, local communities and large agencies. That means every penny they raise goes directly to improving the lives of people forced to flee war and violence. http://refugeesupport.eu/
20:00 The Freegees – Portrait XO (EN)
The Freegees is a new opportunity for displaced artists to co-create music with other creatives for a social cause. At the heart of this initiative is the mission to nurture collaboration, diversity, and humanity with art, music, and storytelling. For World Food Day, musicians from different parts of the world came together to write The Freegees anthem song to celebrate the launch of this platform. Additionally, there are a handful of other artists who have contributed music to support The Freegees and World Food Day. How does it work? When you purchase a song, you support the artist and share one meal through ShareTheMeal. You can even text a freegee to engage. For this month long campaign, The Freegees is all about art for love, freedom, and end world hunger. The goal is to link with other NGO’s and non-profits that help refugees all around the world and create meaningful content for different campaigns, always involving other creative displaced artists e.g. Christmas, World Refugee Day, etc.

19:20 – Healing The Business World – Why We Need A Global Transformation – Jonathan Klodt, Leadership³ (DE/EN)
19:40 – Emergent Truth, sharing awareness – Richard Schut (DE/EN)
In a world fractured by people living in their own “truth-bubble”, the Power of Moo sets out to connect people across their “bubbles”. With playful interaction, theatre at unconventional places and an open heart the Power of Moo invites you to become part of the “emotional renaissance of the 21st century” – a journey into the unknown, into the emerging “truth” of our times.
20:00 “Courage to Change, Courage to Act”, Elisabeth Kremer – Program Manager Kreisau-Initiative e.V. (DE/EN)
“Courage to Change, Courage to Act” aims to broaden the practice of education for sustainable development (ESD) and in particular transformative education in Germany and Poland. The core of the project is a training cycle for multipliers, offering 10 thematic 3-day seminars designed for teachers as well as multipliers in non-formal education. We inspire and empower change agents, spread and develop methods which allow for a deconstruction of “mental infrastructures”, and help building a supportive German-Polish network of educators.
Transformative learning is an educational approach which fosters a change of perspective on ourselves and on the world, which can then lead to further changes on the levels of attitudes and actions. During the trainings, we try out, reflect and adjust various methods of transformative learning, ESD, de-growth education etc. Thereby, we promote critical, systemic and unconventional thinking, holistic learning, personal and emotional connections and a close connection to nature. As a group, we also gain first-hand experiences of socio-ecological alternatives in Poland and Germany.
The project is coordinated by the Kreisau-Initiative, funded by the German Federal Environmental Foundation and the German-Polish Youth Office, and implemented together with seven partner institutions from Poland and Germany.
Next training – What grows when the economy grows? – Basics of growth criticism”, December 6-9, 2018 in Krzyżowa (Western Poland), ca. 60 km from Wroclaw

19:20 – 1769, small sustainable building and living project seeks participants and helpers – Claudia Vogt & David Zehnter (EN)
We are looking for students and experts in modern, sustainable living, engineering, building, architecture, design, business, tourism or agriculture, who want to live for some weeks/month in a beautiful, historical stone house in Spain.The house from 1769 is refurbished, off-grid, has solar panels, a generator, water-deposit, kitchen, bathroom, 3 sleeping rooms, 2 wood-stoves and wireless internet. The house with 3.9 hectares ground is surrounded by forests, hills, olive and almond trees and has a fantastic river to swim, once it has rained enough. However, the climate is semi-arid/mediterranean (Bsk/Csa Köppen): climate change and water-management is a challenge. A Mountain-Park is near. A great community is in the area. We need support in brainstorming, management, partnerships and investments to develop the house into a tech and design focused residency and ecolab. In exchange we offer free housing and earnings.

19:40 – Eco Hacker Farm, Franz Gatzke & Aimee Fenech
We mix permaculture with hacker culture in a cohabitation space. We are based about 2 hours out of Berlin but reachable by train, we grow our own food (as much as possible) and try to use technology to come to our aid in day to day life. We also make our solutions open source and our community template available to anyone who would also like to start their own community. Franz Gatzke After working in several startups, Franz traveled through Europe, visiting alternative projects across the continent. When he came back to Germany, he founded Eco Hacker Farm and Kuckucksmühle, a mix between a hacker space, co-living space, and an ecological community growing their own food and living according to permaculture principles. He is enthusiastic about changing the world for the better with technology and simpler lifestyles. He is committed to building open source software, and keeping privacy for the people. Aimee Fenech After 10 years in financial services Aimee left her career to found Eco Hacker Farm, Ventidos and eventually Project Manager at Kuckucksmühle, a co-living space mixed with permaculture and hackerspace. Having lived across Europe and experienced life both in the rat race and off it she is happy to now be a lifelong student, occasional nomad, eternal dreamer and writer, permaculture enthusiast, and aspires to a long, healthy and happy life. https://wiki.ecohackerfarm.org/kuckucksmuehle:start

19:40 – Konstantin Mercks
Ich möchte eine kleine Präsentation über meine musikalische Vision im größeren Kontext geben. Es geht mir um das Erreichen, Inspirieren und um die Verbindung zwischen den Menschen mit verschiedenen Hintergründen. Das Ziel ist ein übergeordnetes Gruppengefühl und der Zusammenarbeiten an einer gemeinsamen Zukunft. Ich sehe meine Musik als einen befreienden Baustein in einem weiter gefassten Prozess Menschen zu ermutigen die Herausforderungen der Welt anzugehen. Die zerstörerische Desillusionierung unserer Welt kann durch die Kraft der wachen mutigen Liebe begegnet werden.

20:00 – Anne Westwards…
Mein Name ist Anne– und ich erkunde die Welt auf langsame, bewusste Weise: Auf dem Landweg. Alleine. Mit dem Fahrrad. Mich zieht es besonders in die Einsamkeit und wilde Schönheit der Natur, weit jenseits ausgetretener Pfade. Um im Moment zu sein und in Verbindung mit mir selbst zu kommen. Um meine Umgebung mit allen meinen Sinnen wahrzunehmen. Um mir viel Zeit zu nehmen für endlose Tassen Tee mit den Dorfältesten.
Von meinen Expeditionen berichte als Autorin, Fotografin und Vortragende. Inspiration, Entschleunigung und einen Blick für das Wesentliche im Leben – das ist es, was ich mit euch teilen möchte. Momentan erwarte ich voller Spannung das Crowdfunding für mein erstes Buch über meine Radreise durch den Iran (mehr Infos unter den Links unten).
Ich bin noch ganz erfüllt mit Geschichten meines letzten Abenteuers: über ein Jahr unterwegs, inspiriert von den ehrwürdigen Seidenstraßen, mit dem Fahrrad auf Solo-Expedition durch Asien und den Nahen Osten. Ich kann es kaum erwarten, diese Erfahrungen persönlich mit euch zu teilen. Lass dich entführen, weit jenseits der ausgetretenen Pfade, sei es in die Haüser und Herzen der Menschen vor Ort oder in die Einsamkeit atemberaubend schöner Natur.
Bis bald im Baumhaus!

“Mut zum Wandel, Mut zum Handeln” möchte Bildung für Nachhaltige Entwicklung (BNE) und insbesondere Transformatives Lernen in Deutschland und Polen fördern. Im Mittelpunkt des Projektes steht eine Fortbildungsreihe für Multiplikatoren: Die 10 thematischen, je dreitägigen Seminare richten sich an Lehrer und Multiplikatoren der non-formalen Bildung. Wir inspirieren und befähigen Akteure des Wandels, verbreiten und entwickeln Methoden, die helfen „mentale Infrastrukturen“ zu überwinden und tragen bei zum Aufbau eines unterstützenden Deutsch-Polnischen Netzwerks von Bildungsakteuren.
Transformatives Lernen ist ein Bildungsansatz der einen Perspektivwechsel auf uns selbst und auf die Welt ermöglicht, der dann wieder Veränderung auf den Ebenen von Haltungen und Verhalten nach sich ziehen kann. Während der Seminare testen, reflektieren und modifizieren wir verschiedene Methoden aus dem Bereich Transformatives Lernen, BNE, Degrowth-Bildung, usw. Dadurch fördern wir kritisches, systemisches und unkonventionelles Denken, ganzheitliches Lernen, persönlich-emotionale Bezüge und Naturverbundenheit. Als Gruppe bekommen wir auch konkrete Einblicke in sozial-ökologische Projekte in Deutschland und Polen.
Das Projekt wird koordiniert von der Kreisau-Initiative, gefördert von der Deutschen Bundesstiftung Umwelt und dem Deutsch-Polnischen Jugendwerk, und umgesetzt mit Unterstützung von sieben Partnerorganisationen in Deutschland und Polen.
