Wir bauen ein Luftschloss (ab 5 Jahre)

We need air to breathe. Air is always all around us. It is created collectively by all living things on Earth and carried to us as wind. Air is precious. Yet we often forget about it. The climate crisis is a crisis of air. So that we don’t forget it again, let’s build a castle in the air together. A castle in the air to celebrate the air. But how? By reducing CO2 emissions and flying acrobatically through the air! With wind and scent and clouds and the breath of the trees! With parachutes, swim rings, fog machines, and helium balloons! With the micro-creatures that live in the air—which you can search for in our augmented reality.  

Artists like Amy Balkin, Ana Mendietta, Virginia Melnyk, and many others have already come up with a few ideas. We’ll incorporate them into our castle in the air and become air artists.

You’re all invited to help build it for the season opening!
Open format, outdoors at the Children’s Rights Square, free of charge.

The “Luftschloss” was developed by a transdisciplinary group of children, artists, and scientists: Sibylle Peters, Matthias Anton, Idgie Groffmann, Felix Jung, Nils Löfke, Ines Moreno, Julia Münz, Lydia Schulze Heuling, Florian Tampe, Margaux Weiß, Christopher Weymann, and students from the IVK classes 5–7 at the Louise-Weiss-Gymnasium.
