What shapes a region? Why do the landscape and architecture look the way they do? Who settled here first and who came after? Epochs are located in a timeline and a separate timeline is created. The aim is to develop an understanding of historical connections and thus of the culture of a region.
Colonization has greatly displaced and often destroyed the cultures of indigenous peoples on all continents. However, the international sustainability movement is increasingly citing the voices of these very peoples. Hundreds of years ago, people knew that we are part of nature and cannot simply view nature as a resource for perpetual prosperity. Things are complex because many things are connected to many things. But those who are not afraid of complexity can also find solutions.
Farmers engaged in agriculture and livestock farming feed the people. This has been the case since people settled down and no longer lived from hunting and gathering. Agriculture in Alpine regions is a challenge to the strength and ingenuity of mountain farmers. Here, a timeline is used to historically locate how agriculture has changed over time.
In some remote mountain villages in the Southern Alps, people only survived because they could subsist on chestnuts. Although chestnuts need a lot of light, they are otherwise quite undemanding and respond to climate change in Alpine regions with high adaptability. Today they are rightly being rediscovered for sustainable reforestation, as a fine and versatile food and also as a supplier of extremely weatherproof wood. Let’s take a closer look at this all-rounder!
soulconcept is a learning format that brings together individual learning with team building. Even very heterogeneous groups can produce results together. Here it is less about what we get to the bottom of and more about the aspect from which we look at or analyze something. Last but not least, this format trains creativity as a key competency.
Animals and plants often have properties that are so ingenious that engineers try to recreate them. This is called “bionics”. Oysters and mussels produce material compounds that would be ideal for dentistry. Sharks are so fast because their skin makes positive use of current turbulence in the water. Dandelion seeds can fly for kilometers and land particularly gently - a model for parachutes. And this is about the lotus effect and plants whose leaves miraculously clean themselves.
