Imagine - workshop

“Imagining our circular neighbourhood”

In this one-hour workshop, participants will think like an artist: they will use their artistic imagination to (re-)imagine our neighbourhood in connection to the circular economy/society. 

We will visualize what a circular neighbourhood can look like. Participants may also work on written expressions, such as poems or stories. Among the guiding questions will be: What positive examples can we think of that already take place in the here and now? What dreams, hopes and ideas do we have for the future? 

Materials, for example different paint colours and pens will be provided. Participants of this workshop do not need to be professional artists. Anyone can join, think like an artist, and express themselves with colours and writing.

The workshop is created and guided by Ulrike Hahn, also neighbour on board, who holds a PhD degree about the connection between the visual arts and climate change. 

She has facilitated various workshops on art, circularity, climate change and sustainability in the past, for example as part of the projects by ACCZ (Accelerating Circular Economy Zuid Holland) and during conferences, such as “Communicating Climate Hope: Countering Eco-anxiety and Climate Doomism in Research and Practice” organised by Tilburg University and the University of British Columbia.
