A day of activities for young and old on the topic of urban nature—the Reallabor Radbahn invites you to join in, and StadtManufaktur is on board!
During a guided tour, the Reallabor Radbahn team will explain how the space under the viaduct will change over the next few months. Together with StadtManufaktur, several evaporation beds will be built for the Reallabor Radbahn and then planted collaboratively. In a workshop on soil, children (and their parents) can learn about the importance of soil and conduct experiments related to it. With Nettles & Poppies, participants can swap plant seeds and learn how to harvest them from wild plants growing under the viaduct. Everyone is invited to bring seeds and see what surprises spring will bring!
Refueat will serve guests falafel, halloumi, tea, and coffee, thereby providing employment opportunities for refugees. Fresh tap water will be available at the a tip: tap water bar, where staff will explain why it’s sustainable and healthy. The concert by Pauken und Planeten and the AL Berlin DJ Team invites everyone to dance under the viaduct. Artist Amuleto Manuela’s sound collages on the theme of dandelions transport us into “botanical” soundscapes.
The Bike Clinic is back as well, offering free minor bike repairs.
