The "Grüner Saum" project was financially supported by the Neulandgewinner funding program

The project focused on reactivating a sports field owned by Vonovia that had been derelict for years. The aim was to actively shape and revitalize this site together with residents and local initiatives. To this end, an open construction site was set up on site for a week, offering space for people to meet, exchange ideas and create together. Low-threshold formats, such as the neighborhood kitchen for cooking and eating together, created a unifying social practice where people from different backgrounds came together. In addition, there were a variety of activities such as sports activities, a senior coffee klatsch, singing, games and the "Zwinger Olympics", which promoted togetherness in the neighborhood.

Am 08.07. gab es wieder einen kleinen Höhepunkt im Vereinsleben – DerMDR, genauer gesagt Silvio Zschage mit seinem Musik-Mix-Mobil, besuchteuns und schenkte uns eine gute Stunde Unterhaltung, Musik undÜberraschungen. Es war extrem kurzfristig, da wir einen genauen Terminbei einer Auslosung dieser Art nicht vorherbestimmen konnten. Dass wirüberhaupt gelost wurden grenzt schon an ein Wunder. Silvio sagte, dasses über 3000 Bewerbungen dazu gibt.Leider konnten wegen des kurfristigen Termins viele unserer Aktivennicht teilnehmen. Natürlich zeigten wir auch unsere in neuem Glanzerstrahlten Räume und Werkstätten im Haus. Selbst aus Chemnitz kam einälteres Ehepaar, um an diesem Event mit dabei zu sein. Unser Haus bekameine von Silvio signierte MDR-Tasse. Diese bitte in Ehren halten!Vielen Dank an alle Helfer, die für einen reibungslosen Ablauf gesorgthaben.Allen Beteiligten hat es gut gefallen. Werbung für unser Neues Volkshaushaben wir damit jedenfalls gemacht. Dank geht an den MDR!Rainer

Actions & Events at the SquareFor the action weekend on November 9/10/11, 2018, Schillingplatz became an open living room. Under the motto "Everybody needs a home", lectures, film and various actions as well as art and music created a temporary contact point where people from the district could come together and exchange ideas.Despite low temperatures, the action weekend was well attended at times. The action weekend was filled with contributions to urban space design, a mobile screen-printing workshop, a lantern procession for St. Martin's Day, live music, cinnamon punch and discussions. At the end there was the possibility to get into conversation at the neighborhood cafe and tea.Besides we asked ourselves the question: What makes a home? How can we shape the city together? How do we want to live together? How and where do we live, work and share ? What should our district look like today and in the future? In this way, an awareness of mutual togetherness could be awakened and the urban space could be temporarily shaped.The Catholic and Protestant youth of Dresden-Löbtau, Konglomerat e.V., #Willkommen in der Werkstatt, the neighborhood meeting place PlatzDa, the street newspaper Drobs, the Dresdner Tafel, neighbors, friends and other locals participated...A large part of the donations was given to the Dresdner Nachtcafes.

With the project "BLUE DOG" an ironic fakelabel is set up, which takes the mechanisms of the fashion industry and its marketing strategies ad absurdum. In workshops, new underwear is made from old pieces of clothing. The project participants will learn manufacturing and production techniques and will be able to apply the label to their self-sewn garment at the end. Consumers become producers who can set an example with their own personal "blueDog" collection.Sponsored by the Creative Network.

In this two-day course we will process an original T-shirt pattern from the "Sibyl" into your new favorite. This will then be finished in our workshop with various printing techniques or applications.Date Oct. 20-21, 2018 1-5 p.m. each dayRegistration at: textiles@listen.konglomerat.org
