    [:de]( Wir brauchen eure hilfe mit Übersetzungen… EN –> DE ! )

    … und nun ein Einblick in den zweiten Teil unseres offenen Agressionsbewältigungs-Workshops, wo wir über Dinge sprechen, die uns in eine negative Stimmung versetzen. Wir haben sie auf eine Wand geschrieben und die Situation mit einem ziemlich großen Hammer ‘gelöst’ …

    Zu unseren wöchentlichen Arbeits-Helfer-Sessions laden wir Freiwillige ein, die bei den Renovierungsarbeiten des Raums helfen. Sie sind Teil eines zielgerichteten und tiefgreifenden Prozesses, bei dem wir viel Spaß haben und sowohl körperlich als auch persönlich, sozial, emotional und intellektuell einige gute Dinge tun.

    Nimm an einer der wöchentlichen Session teil, am Termin deiner Wahl:

    * Dies ist Teil der fortlaufenden Videoserie “Baufortschritt”, wo wir nicht nur die Bauarbeiten im Baumhaus dokumentieren, sondern auch den gemeinsamen Lern-, Arbeits- und Schaffensprozess für eine bessere Welt zeigen wollen.

    ** Für eine Zusammenarbeit mit Handwerkern, Helfern, Filmemachern, Redakteuren, Produzenten, Videomachern und Kreativen aller Art sind wir immer offen!

     [:en]…and now a peek into the world of our informal “anger management” workshop part 2, where we talk about the current issues in our lives that distract us in negative ways, write them on a wall and then ‘resolve’ the situation with a rather large hammer…

    During our weekly work help sessions we invite volunteers to help renovate the space as part of a focussed and deeply engaging process where we have fun getting some good things done physically, personally, socially, emotionally and intellectually too.

    Join a weekly session & choose your own time to help:

    * This is part of an emerging video series called, “Building Progress…” where we hope to not only document the building of Das Baumhaus but also of the process of learning, working and building a better world together.

    ** We are happy to collaborate with builders, helpers, film makers, editors, producers, videographers and creators of all sorts![:]

    [:de]Über 1500 Besucher waren dieses Jahr auf unserem Festival und es war das bisher beste! Die Stimmung war schön. Wir hatten das Festival zu einer “offenen Grüßzone” erklärt und freuen uns, wie viele Leute tatsächlich mit anderen ins Gespräch kamen.  Viele neue Kontakte und Verbindungen sind entstanden.

    breaking the sound barrier

    – Fotos, Videos und Neuigkeiten zu Kooperationen, die sich aus dem Festival ergeben haben, findet ihr hier: Emergent Berlin Nachricht.

    – Wir laden euch und alle Helfer, Unterstützer und Teilnehmer sehr herzlich zu einer “After Glow” Party am Samstag, den 10.10. ein.

    – Wir freuen uns über kleine Spenden am betterplace.org, die helfen unsere Kosten für das Festival zu decken! (es fehlen noch 359€)

    [:en]More than 1500 people attended Emergent Berlin to help make his year’s festival the best yet!  The vibe on both days was excellent.  The whole festival area turned into one sprawling ‘open greeting zone’ so people felt very comfortable interacting with each other and ignoring the invisible social barriers that normally exist.

    breaking the sound barrier

     Check our Emergent Berlin News page for pictures & videos plus updates about our new academic, social and event cooperations that developed from the festival…

     Join us at our “After Glow” party on Sa 10.10. to celebrate and thank all of our festival volunteers, supporters and participants
