20 families from 15 countries have literally „put down their roots in a new country“ in the International Garden Bonn. While everyone has been tilling their own field since 2007 they still share experiences.
PERARES: Dialogue Citizens - Sciences
How can citizens and their concerns gain access to the sciences? Our project PERARES has received funding from the EU commission for four years. 25 representatives from science shops, research facilities and civic groups from 17 countries get together for debates and discussions.
Simulation Game “Environmental Policy”
Students take on the roles of international delegates and decide on climate change as well as global water consumption. As local politicians, business people or environmentalists they discuss land management in Germany, resource conflicts in the woods or the construction of wind energy plants.
“Crime-scene-forest – change of perspectives through simulations”
Essence of the project draft is the development and execution of half-day simulations, with which youths slip into the roles of different interest groups preparing fictional citizen meetings to negotiate compromises. The goal of the project is to make young people in a playful way familiar with the conflicts of interest in the use of forest resources. The award will raise social awareness of the nature and motivate especially young people for a conservation commitment. Science Shop Bonn wins the first German Nature Protection Award with this submitted project.
Simulation Game Palm Oil
The small kernels of the oil palm with its brown and reddish fruit pulp are in the center of attention of the new simulation game that the Science Shop Bonn develops in cooperation with the company Innowego – Forum Bildung & Nachhaltigkeit eG. It is set up as a role play in which vocational students play the part of customers, salesmen, and purchasing agents. The central question for discussion is: Which actions should be taken to create a fair and sustainable trade with products containing palm oil?
bio innovation park Rhineland
Climate protection and green urban development have already been introduced into a number of projects run by the Bonn Science Shop. The "bio innovation park Rhineland" is focusing on these aspects, too. The aim of the project is to establish a climate-neutral Science and Business Park between the cities of Meckenheim and Rheinbach.
The International Green Play town
Two tightrope artists tell stories of stranded sailors while being two metres above ground. An Iraqi artist plays music from his home on an instrument made of a coconut shell. These are impressions of the international green play town. All together 14 of such cultural events are being organised by the Science Shop Bonn in 2016 and 2017 in collaboration with the cultural centre Brotfabrik at the nature discovery site in Bonn-Dransdorf. The project receives funding by the Landschaftsverband Rheinland.
