Exchange Forum Fridays for Future

Fridays for Future Aktionstag am Museum für Naturkunde

Since March 2019, the Museum für Naturkunde has been supporting the protest of pupils* and students as part of Fridays for Future. With the first major climate strike, the Experimentierfeld provided a forum to address issues of climate and environmental protection and to promote an exchange between science and students*.

Every Friday from 2 p.m. and following the #FridaysForFuture demonstrations, the Experimentierfeld therefore invited to an exchange with scientists from the Museum für Naturkunde as well as other scientific institutes. At the beginning of the exchange forum, this dialogue took place at topic tables, where different problems and solutions in the context of climate and environmental protection were addressed and further thought about together with the students. In addition, workshops were held (offered by the museum and partner institutions, but also by Fridays For Future itself).

The exchange forum offered the opportunity to enter into common questions and was thus also the stimulus for several joint projects and support from science for the development of concrete demands of the climate movement.

The experimental field also supported the major strike days in September and November 2019 with an accompanying program.
