Taking a closer look at the relationality in nature, the workshop invites you to collectively explore the question ‘what should be the role of human beings in shaping the future?’ We will collaboratively make a poster, which will be formed with the drawings, photographs, collages and short texts of the participants. A copy of the printed poster will be given to the participants at the end of the workshop as a “pollen of knowledge”.
