We make pots and heads boil! Together with the project Querfeld, up to 15 participants create a culinary delicacy from crooked fruits in organic quality. Querfeld fights against food waste and was nominated for the German Ecodesign Award in 2017. In addition to whetting appetites, the event also stimulates exciting conversations about food consumption in the future.

An environmental expert and former participants of the competition will outline and discuss which impulses and solutions design can offer for the problems of our existing food culture and production. What will be boiling on our stoves in the future?

More information about the speakers of the online talk can be found here or on the website of the German Ecodesign Award.

Environmental expert Jan Gimkiewicz, designer and winner of the German Ecodesign ward 2017 Ina Budde and scientist Kerli Kant Hvass will explore the question of how a circular economy can prevail in the textile and fashion industry.

It doesn't always have to be down-, re- or upcycling - to live more sustainably, sometimes just cycling is enough! On a short bike tour through Kreuzberg with the team of the project Radbahn U1, which wants to transform the fallow space under Berlin's elevated train line U1 into a largely covered bike path, we think about the future of urban mobility.

Meeting point is at 5 pm in front of the exhibition rooms of feldfünf e.V. in the Metropolenhaus Berlin with your own bike.

Complementing the previous day's excursion, this online talk will focus on the question of sustainable mobility in urban areas. A representative of the Federal Environment Agency and various award winners from recent years will discuss the question of what design can contribute here. How will traffic develop in future?

Further information on the speakers of the online talk will be available here or in the website of the German Ecodesign Award.
