Community Events with Eco Club Program
When we talk about community events in rural areas, we’re talking about all sorts of gatherings. Farm festivals, farmers‘ markets, local fairs, summer festivals, annual meetings, assemblies, exhibitions, flea markets… The list is long and far from complete. In this case, we’re specifically focusing on events with more than 30 participants to make it worth the effort to create a program from various Eco Club Projects.
For example, to introduce Eco Club Projects to our wider Bavarian community, we teamed up with local artists. Their upcoming farm festival is the ideal setting for an Eco Club program. We have planned a variety of sustainable activities to cater to different guests and interests: a Repair Cafe, a scent memory game, a composting workshop, and crafting sessions for making insect watering stations from sticks and shells.
In the coming months, we’ll be sharing more of our experiences from community events featuring a lineup of Eco Club Projects. We’ll also let you know how participants have been reacting. The initial feedback on the farm festival flyer with the Eco Club Program was overwhelmingly positive 🙂
Currently, we’re diving deep into sustainable decoration and tackling a large upcycling project that will be ready for the farm festival. It’s super fun to build something together with people who also enjoy exploring a more resource-friendly approach to creation.
As we’re brainstorming various details for the farm festival, one tool has been particularly helpful in quickly generating sustainable design ideas: Pinterest. It’s super effective if you want to gather different approaches swiftly. It has really helped us because discussing these ideas as a team quickly gave us the feeling that we’re all on the same page.
