What does the city of the future look like, the city we want to live in? At the MachGrünCamp, young people explored this question through workshops and excursions from April 7th to 13th, presenting their own creative proposals. They also had the opportunity to discuss these ideas with Ingrid Müller and Julia Seim from the wannseeFORM. Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety, which supports the MachGrünCamp. A detailed video documentary provides insights into the creation process of films, models, and theater scenes that the young people developed about the city of the future and the green professions within it.
The train station has solar panels on its roof, the supermarket generates its electricity from biomass grown on its facade, there are free-range chickens right next door, and you can enjoy an orchard on the roof of the high-rise. This is what the city of the future looks like, designed by participants in the construction workshop of the "Make Green!" camp. In a video, they take us on a walk through their city.
There is also extensive video documentation from all the other workshops, showing insights into and results from the "Make Green!" camp.
The aim of the seminar project of LIFE eV. In cooperation with the wannseeFORUM Foundation, the aim is to teach young people about the "greening of professions" and to encourage them to explore sustainability-oriented practices in the professional world and to develop their own green career prospects. It is part of the joint project „"Go Green! Discover and shape professions"“. The second "Make Green!" camp has now taken place at the wannseeFORUM, which was based on machgruen.de is extensively documented. (see also) Go Green! Camp in December 2016)
Many creative ideas emerged during the process. The video also captures impressions from the theatre workshop and the performance for guests, in which the participants jointly presented scenes about the past, present, and future of a green future.
What role do cell phones play in the city of the future? Is a life without them conceivable? What will our future look like if we continue as we are? The film workshop group produced two films: "Cell Phone Away" and "We'll Carry On!?". In addition to the films, insights into the filmmaking process can also be found here.
Following an exciting camp in April, the next one is already being planned. It will take place in the Autumn break from 28.0. to 2.11.17 until. Young people from Berlin aged 14 to 17 can participate.
