Wir bieten mehrere Praktikumsplätze

Arbeite mit daran, Berlins ersten Hub für nachhaltige Entwicklung aufzubauen, unser 140m2 großes Ladenlokal auszubauen und die Veranstaltungen und Projekte zu planen, die nach der Eröffnung im Baumhaus stattfinden werden.

Du bestimmst dein Praktikum selber: Was sind deine Fähigkeiten, Leidenschaften, Projekte, an denen du gerne arbeiten würdest? Unser Ziel ist es so zusammenzuarbeiten, dass unsere Arbeit sowohl dich als auch das Baumhausprojekt wachsen lässt.

Alle Bereiche in unserem Projekt erfordern ein multidisziplinäres Denken und Handeln. Du kommst in ein echtes Graswurzelprojekt, hast mehrere Aufgaben und hast mit deiner Arbeit direkte Wirkung “on the ground”.

During the next weeks we will prepare the space for the next phase of deconstruction. This will include activities suitable for general volunteers such as:

– moving things around (nothing too heavy)
– cleaning up and reorganizing building materials in the
– taking apart current installations space.

Most work will focus on the back room but we will also do some work in the cellar breaking down a low brick wall and organizing a storage situation.

Overview:

BUILDING, DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY We are renovating our storefront space and building the ‘indoor tree house’. We will use art, design and technology to create a unique and symbolic space. We want to

build in organic style, think Gaudi plus ‘Lord of the rings’ plus ‘Avatar’. A lot of stuff needs to get designed, developped and built:

– Furniture
– Lighting Fixtures
– technological designs for sentient lighting (arduino, LEDs, motion / proximity sensors)
– Projection Mapping
– Architectural Installations
– Vertical Gardens
– Kitchen
– Bathrooms
– Up-cycled and recycled Products
– Material Research (Wood, Clay, Metal, Glas, up- or recycable materials)
– General decoration & Painting

„Above and Beyond – Part 2“  :: Gerichtstr. 23, front house, ground floor (VH / EG)

19:30 – doors open, open greeting zone social time

20:00 – warm up and session begin

Here is a small sample of what we did during the first session with Ben Jeffries and the Berlin „Singing In The City“ Meetup group: „Above and Beyond“

The mission this week is to continue creating the soundtrack for the upcoming Baumhaus crowd-funding video that will be launched this summer.

After we warm up and listen to a bit of the first session, we will continue to riff on an original song called „Above & Beyond“ as a soulful gospel spiritual-esque jam out groove. Then we will also just open up the sound space to other fun improvisational compositions of the moment…

This promises to be another a highly engaging and fun evening! … And the last session in Baumhaus 1.0 before the renovations begin… No worries, we will meet in the great outdoors in some sessions this summer!

*Please try to come before 8 when we start warming up so you don’t interrupt the flow…

The challenge: Design compost toilets that comply to standards for public spaces

DE

Toiletten gehören zur essentiellen Hardware, die wir in Zukunft brauchen werden, um eine Lösung für Probleme wie peak-Phosphat zu finden, indem wir die Kreisläufe zwischen Landwirtschaft (Dünger) und Abwasser schließen. Ich möchte Eco-Toi u.ä. gewinnen, mit uns an einer Version ihrer Kompost-Toilette zu arbeiten, die öffentlich aufgestellt werden kann, z.B. auf beliebten Plätzen wie dem Mauerpark-Flohmarkt. Es müssen also Probleme wie Hygienestandards, Langlebigkeit, einfache und Wartung, und intuitive Nutzersteuerung (damit sie die Dinger richtig benutzen) gelöst werden.  mehr info…

During the OSCE Days 2015 in Berlin, we want to work on the challenges we face on the way to an open source prototype for a public nutrient-recycling toilet. Feel free to join and share your ideas!  Creating an economy for the nutrient cycle is one of the most urgent and underestimated issues in the coming years. Especially peak-phosphate is a phenomenon that is as overlooked as it is pressing. Phosphate is a mineral all living things on earth need in a far greater quantity than is available in the untreated earth’s crust. This means that we need to either recycle it or, as it is currently and very unsustainably done, add it artificially from mining sources that deplete rapidly and are located in unstable or dictatorial countries, most of it in China.  more info…

Come by, get more information and help on the spot to collaboratively organize our grassroot summer festival for local changemakers in Berlin!

 

After two public planning meetings, we have lots of wonderful ideas and concepts, the date is fixed (first weekend of september), enough spaces are found and the structure is set (short presentations, workshops, welcome & meeting space, music, food…).

Now it’s time to start the real work. We will:

• start forming working groups for different program areas of the festival, planning in detail what needs to get done and creating framworks and work packages for volunteers

• start setting up the website, go through last years texts and images and write new texts and calls for participation

• start creating hand-made posters. we’ll have some stuff here, but you’re very welcome to bring your own paint and tools and materials

Feel free to come by our open office day and join with whatever you would love to work on…

Wednesday, 10th of June, 18:00 – 21:00

Adress: Gerichtstr. 23, front building 3rd floor – doorbell „Wohlert / Bolden“

This week and next week we will combine forces with Singing In The City, a proper choir project led by Ben Jeffries!

This time the mission is to create the soundtrack for the upcoming Baumhaus crowd-funding video that will be launched this summer.

Ben will lead us in developing an original song called „Above & Beyond“ that will start out in a classical march style and evolve into a soulful gospel spiritual-esque jam out groove. In return, we will share some of our improvisational groove vibes with members of Ben’s choir…

This promises to be a highly engaging and fun evening!
