School project Urban Gardening at Eichendorff-Grundschule
School project "Urban Gardening" at eichendorff primary school
In cooperation with the Eichendorff Primary School, we carried out an urban garden project with ours at the end of May and the beginning of June with several school classes of the 1st-3rd grade.
During the project, the school garden was replanted with herbs and vegetables with the students. In addition, empty milk bags, cans and plastic bottles were used to build flower pots and hanging gardens. In addition to imparting basic knowledge in craft techniques, gardening and plant science, the children also developed an awareness of reusable raw materials. Because with the necessary ingenuity, new material does not always have to be used.
Here are some impressions from the project!
If you are interested in carrying out such a project at your school in Berlin, then get in touch with us!

With the variety of recyclable elements that nature and manufacturing offer us every day and whatever the imagination invents and wants.
Each child should be encouraged to explore creatively and discover for themselves the possibilities offered by the various materials. It is a way to get everyone to participate and get to know each other through art and play, because by exploring you can discover what you like to do in life.

PODCAST No.24 Artist in Residence Program I Helena Hernandez at Urban Art Kids
Welcome back to the Urban Art Kids podcast 2021 in English. In this episode, we talk to Mexican artist Helena Hernandez about her participation in the Artist in Residence program at Urban Art Kids. Helena has been part of the Urban Art Kids teaching team for more than a year and regularly teaches courses with us.
In December 2020, she stayed in the gallery to work on a beautiful embroidery project that has to do with her childhood. She is the first artist to participate in this AiR program.
In this episode, we talk about how she felt like a child again and had more contact with her family because of the pandemic situation. How all her memories turned into pieces of embroidery, like a girl wearing a fish hat.
Helena also explains why she felt like a tourist in Charlottenburg, as she usually works and lives in Neukölln. The artist’s love and hatred relationship with Neukölln and her hometown of Mexico City. Helena transforms the roughness of the Neukölln neighborhood, where she lives, into her work.
Helena has started a daily embroidery project, which she wants to continue all year round. See Instagram of Helena.
We talked to her about how the pandemic situation affected her life.
She balanced things that kept her busy and information with other things that made her happy. For example, she started baking and growing plants.

What do we do in the workshop?
The workshop tries to stimulate children through creative keys in a wide range with the basis of language. This consists in learning to tell visual things and becoming aware of the creativity we all have. We also want to incorporate philosophical or social concepts into the creative work. These are some of the paths we will explore in the course. An integral part of each workshop will be a selection of music in Spanish specially prepared for the occasion. The idea is to select songs with rhythms, melodies and sounds that entertain children and invite them to sing and dance.

PODCAST No.23 Oso, Watercolor & Crowdfunding I Lujon Cordaro at Urban Art Kids
In the current English podcast, the Argentinian artist Luján Cordaro presents her latest book project “Oso”.
In the spring, Lu returned to Berlin shortly before the lockdown after a 9-month sabbatical and recently launched a crowdfunding campaign on the Platform Kickstarter to fund the book project.
The book is about a little bear who comes to a new place and tries to adapt and make new friends, among other things. This also reflects the story of Luján, who moved from Argentina to Germany several years ago.
In conversation, Lu tells us what little “Oso” is experiencing and how to create your own home through new friends.
In addition, Lu supports artists from Latin America who are new to Berlin with a regular meeting (currently only online). She also regularly teaches watercolour courses for children and adults at Urban Art Kids.
Have fun to listen to! And of course as always, if you like it please rate us, write comments and share our podcast!
