Visit NochMall with Civic Engagement
Saturday, February 1, 2025 at 12pm
Meeting Time and Location: Meet Faiza and Hesham at 12pm at Auguste-Viktoria-Allee 99, 13403 Berlin-Reinickendorf
NochMall is the first department store for second-hand goods in Berlin, and it is much more than just a mall. NochMall not only sells and gives and gives a second life to furniture, clothing, electrical appliances, household goods, toys, books and more on over 2,000 square meters, it is also a place to experience the circular economy and waste prevention through different workshops and events. Berliner Stadtreinigung (Berlin Waste Management, BSR), who are responsible for the rubbish produced by the city's two million households, opened this used goods department store in summer 2020, as a measure to promote reuse.
Visit NochMall together with the BCB Civic Engagement team and join the open auction that happens there every first Saturday of the month! You will also learn about how the ideas of circular economy and waste prevention are reflected in on-campus student-run civic engagement initiatives at BCB.
Visit to the "Design for Children" exhibit at the Bröhan museum
Sunday, February 2, 2025 at 1pm
Meeting Time and Location: Meet Atticus at Bröhan Museum at 1pm
Join Atticus on a visit to the "Design for Children" exhibit at the Bröhan museum. ‘Design for Children’ brings together examples of furniture, product and graphic design and locates them in their time of origin. In addition to the design of children’s rooms and playgrounds, objects designed for children are also analyzed in terms of their natural or artificial materiality. A separate room dedicated to children’s books not only presents historical examples, but also provides a small library for browsing, looking at and reading. The exhibition is aimed at children and adults alike and contains many interactive elements that can be tried out, played with and sat on. It encourages a change of perspective between young and old and is an invitation to adults interested in design to look at the material world through the eyes of a child (taken from museum website).
BCB will cover the cost of admission.
Please complete this form by 12pm on Friday, January 31st.
