We immerse ourselves in global learning with sound poems and language sheets, drawing, collage and printmaking. We ask: How much water is in a bicycle? How is it that some people sell drinking water at a high price while others next door are thirsty? And what does it have to do with us when people have to leave their homes because of droughts or floods?
The artistic means of concrete poetry inspire us to play with ambiguities. They also invite you to formulate powerful messages. Using letter stamps, upcycling collage material, colored adhesive tape and, from the 10th grade onwards, printmaking, the students express their thoughts and insights.
Three different thematic focuses are each offered as a one-day workshop:
Virtual WATER
- how the Global North consumes the water of the Global South
- Water balance of different products
- Comparison of the water footprint of countries
- Thinking about global justice
- Personal and political approaches to sustainable development
WATER – a HUMAN RIGHT
- Importance and protection of human rights
- Consequences of the privatization of drinking water for indigenous populations
- Resistance of local people
- Relation to the reality of our lives
- Our own influence (campaigns, petitions, purchasing decisions…)
THREATS and FLOWS
- Connection between global warming, extreme weather and mass exodus
- Insights into the reality of the lives of those affected
- Causes of climate change and our part in it
- Climate awareness and responsibility
- Commitment to global justice
(The individual one-day workshops can also be freely combined to form multi-day workshops)
