What should be created?
Whether amazement, laughter, curiosity or even a little disgust: earthworms arouse emotions: and this is exactly where their potential lies. They make visible how valuable resources are created from supposed waste and inspire enthusiasm for the re- and upcycling of organic residues right on one's own doorstep. The worm compost learning space is being created directly in the neighbourhood: Communal worm composters are being installed at various locations: for example, in courtyards, green spaces or in other green projects entered. These are cared for and cared for by committed residents in groups. This creates lively meeting places where knowledge is shared, experiences are exchanged and sustainable practices are tested together. The neighbourhood residents experience in an action-oriented way and with all their senses how natural and, in particular, local cycles work and can be closed. Kitchen waste is converted into nutrient-rich compost directly on site and reused in the neighbourhood. Worm composting is an ideal starting point for overcoming current challenges: It enables low-threshold access to complex ecological contexts and makes them tangible in everyday life: simple, low-odour and easy to clean. As a practicable solution in the sense of the public educational mandate, it shows how sustainable action can be implemented in concrete terms.
