WORKSHOPS

Who? The fortune-telling leader, Raluca Boișteanu, along with Prometeu Association, reveals the cards and puts you in unique situations.
With whom? With you!
What do we do? We’ll predict how you would perform as an environmental activist by looking into a crystal ball. Based on your profile, you’ll sketch a small plan for a #PlasticFreeDanube.
Where? At the Danube Festival, during this workshop.

This workshop, led by Alexandra Brînzac, is designed to encourage connection with Nature and provide children with a free space to express their creativity. Using nature-based practices and techniques inspired by Forest Bathing, through guided meditations and drawing, we will create a playful and relaxing atmosphere that inspires actions filled with respect and compassion for the Earth.

Through educational games and creative activities, we explore the origins of plastic alongside Seneca EcoLogos and discover how plastic waste pollutes the Danube’s waters. We’ll analyze the alarming speed at which it spreads and its negative impact on the environment. Together, we find eco-friendly alternatives to single-use plastic.

In the Seneca EcoPlayground you will discover for yourself, with the help of materials prepared by us, through play and a lot of intuition on your part, how nature works around you and in relation to you. You will find out about your relationship with NATURE – how you influence it and how it reacts; how big is the impact you have on it and how you can minimize this impact; various solutions and steps you can take to have a healthy lifestyle for you and the planet.

Some of the community organizers from the Danube River communities are bringing you the Danube Festival with interactive and educational activities aimed at inspiring responsible behavior towards nature.
Known for their active involvement in environmental issues, they have prepared a wide range of games and art & craft activities to draw attention to the importance of keeping waters clean and preserving biodiversity:

• Through games you will discover ways to implement sustainable habits.
• The challenge wheel invites you to take courage and answer questions on how to involve residents and local authorities in your city. Be ready to tell a story from your community where people have worked together.
• In art & craft workshops you will give new meaning to plastic objects, learning about recycling and reuse in a fun and creative way.

All activities will show you that environmental protection can be integrated into everyday life through simple gestures and responsible actions. 

Mod of Life Association in Drobeta Turnu Severin invites you for three days to an adventure of knowledge.
Do you want to know how you can become more sustainable and how you can give up excessive plastic consumption?
We’ll teach you how you can create and decorate your own fabric bag!
Want to surprise your loved ones with a personalized card?
Our volunteers will teach you how to make your own paper and decorate it in a creative and unique way.
At the braided bracelets workshop we will create together unforgettable memories for our buddies: colorful and vibrant friendship bracelets.
Workshops on the importance of water and how our actions affect aquatic ecosystems will meet your need for new information, and exciting board games will bring the effects of climate change on the planet into the discussion.
For the little ones, we have textile bag painting workshops, giant soap balloon games and mascot games.

The workshop held by Ștefan Constantinesproposes a short cartographic incursion into the exploration of deltaic spaces, trying to answer some fascinating questions:
How is a delta formed and what are the most important deltas of the Earth?
What was the first map of the Danube Delta?
How do we manage to read a map? Is there a specific cartographic language?
What are the most appropriate colors to represent water, swamps, sandhills or forests?
Young explorers will then also be able to identify the most important online resources where they can download free maps. Finally, we will develop mental maps of the surrounding space and look for answers to the big cartographic question: What is the story behind each map?

At the intersection of old-fashioned graffiti and street art, we seek to personify letters, numbers and signs with IRLO…From writing your own name or finding a stage name to become a story character. We find the story of each sign along the way and link it to our personal story.
We look forward to playing through art!

For the Danube Festival 2024, the WildFun team aims to offer an artistic and educational experience. We will use the linotype technique to learn more about the fabulous ecosystem of the Danube and Delta. Together we will create views of Sulina, with animals and plants that define the great river that flows through Europe and where it flows into the Black Sea. We will get to know Centaurea pontica, a plant that grows only in Sulina, the silvery gull, a magnificent freshwater bird, the pelican, a symbol of the Delta and the morun, an iconic fish that links the sea and the river.

Join us for “Danube Dialogues: Exploring our River’s Future”, an engaging and creative workshop designed for all ages and backgrounds. This interactive session will explore four key themes: water quality and sustainability, the cultural significance of the Danube, biodiversity and species conservation, and future visions for resource management. Through group discussions and hands-on activities, including drawing and brainstorming, participants will share ideas, generate insights, and develop innovative solutions to protect and sustain the Danube River. The workshop is inclusive and accessible, accommodating varying levels of English proficiency, and aims to foster a deeper connection with the Danube and its diverse inhabitants.
