Guidelines
Would you like to organise your own Humus Festival?
Go for it! (:
In order to spread the Humus spirit and bring it to all corners, it is essential that as many people as possible participate.
So organise a festival yourself if you like!
In order to maintain and cultivate this spirit, here are the ideas that a Humus-Festival© should follow in order to appear as such.
The Humus criteria in a nutshell:
1. you are the creator and designer of the festival:
Be aware that you take care of your needs and issues and feel free to bring them to the group.
You are part of the organism "Humus":
Be aware that it is a temporary community with a partly shared economy and that each of us contributes to the organism's flourishing.
3. your freedom touches the freedom of others:
Be aware of how your thoughts, words and actions affect others.
And be aware that your consumption, especially of intoxicants, has an effect on your fellow human beings, especially younger ones.
4. You are surrounded by flora and fauna:
Be aware that they have needs and that we are guests in their habitat.
5. you are an element of the ecosystem that we want to take care of:
Be aware that we can contribute to leaving this place better cared for than we found it.
And now in a little more detail:
The Humus Festival is a self-organized, 8-day gathering where between 3 and 120 people come together to play. The following ideas are key to the organization and implementation of the festival. The Humus guidelines are based on the so-called "basic ecological patterns". These are something like the characteristics of a self-organizing system.
Here is a brief explanation of the ecosystem criteria.
They could also be called character traits of a self-organising system. These characteristics can be found in all known ecological systems if one asks the question: What are the patterns, that is, the structural similarities, that underlie these systems? selbst organisierenden Systems bezeichnen. Diese Merkmale finden sich bei allen bekannten ökologischen Systemen, wenn man die Frage stellt: Welches sind die Muster, das heißt die Strukturähnlichkeiten, die diesen Systemen zugrunde liegen?
Interconnectedness:
This means the relationships that individual components of a system form with each other. Through clever networking, fewer elements are needed to achieve a higher quality of the whole. Sounds pretty cerebral, doesn't it? Simply put, the whole is more than the sum of its parts. It's called emergence.
Limitation:
One ecosystem ends where another begins, so there are the aquatic ecosystems, such as oceans, rivers, lakes, ponds and the terrestrial ones, such as forest, meadow, desert, tundra and so on. Every natural growth has a specific limit. A tree grows for a certain time, reaches a certain size and then dies. A practical example: grasses can limit the growth of trees above them through their root excretions. This means that if you want to do something good for your apple tree at home, you should keep the grass around it low or even mulch it down, this will lower the competitive pressure and the tree will have a slightly easier time growing.
Permeability:
In the living world, everything and constantly is in fluid motion. Just as important as "boundaries" is "permeability" in systems. The greatest diversity always develops in the marginal zones, their interfaces. Think of the edge of the forest, where meadow and forest meet, or of the lakeshore. That's where the inhabitants of both systems come together. That's where it gets really wild! The important thing here is to maintain or create the encounter zones.
Interaction:
An interaction means the mutual influence of two or more elements of a chemical, physical or biological nature.
The interaction between oxygen and iron is called oxidation and the interaction between the Gulf Stream and western air currents is our major climate.
Through encounter, change is inevitably triggered, something new can emerge, whether it is new species, learning effects or something else entirely.
Diversity:
This means biodiversity, the abundance of different life in a given space or geographically limited area. Naturally evolved systems have the ability to regulate themselves, but for this they need qualitative diversity.
Biodiversity is an elementary component for stability and security in the system, because if one connecting partner falls away, it can be replaced by another from the diversity of hopefully existing partners.
Negative and positive feedback:
Are both forms of feedback: feedback is the regulating element of a system. A classic example of negative feedback is the predator-prey relationship of two populations. Many mice are a good basis for the reproduction of a fox population. Watch out, here it comes: many foxes eat many mice. As a result, the food supply of mice decreases and there are fewer foxes again.
A popular example of a positive feedback loop is a self-aggrandising snow avalanche.
Momentum:
Every ecosystem develops dynamically according to its own internal logic. Momentum refers to the effect of time on space. If humans did not intervene, there would be almost exclusively forest vegetation in Central Europe, except in rare extreme locations such as moors, cliffs, mountain ridges and coasts. Meadows are cultivated landscapes where humans intervene in the momentum of the larger ecosystem. Forests raise the water table and create living soil through their root systems. Without them, unfortunately, the opposite happens.
How which system successively develops where and when is quite complex!
We humans are often unable to understand this complexity and only perceive the extremes when crises or catastrophes occur in ecosystems. When this is the case, however, it is usually no longer possible to take meaningful countermeasures.
Cooperation:
There are different degrees of cooperation, such as the rather accidental beneficial use in the loose association of schools of fish or large herds of animals, up to the symbiosis that is necessary for survival, for example that of lichens:
A lichen consists of an alga and a fungus. Now you're probably thinking to yourself: Alga? An alga can't actually survive on land. Actually! If it weren't for the fungus that supplies it with water and nutrients. In return, the alga carries out photosynthesis and supplies the fungus with carbohydrates.
Flexibility:
Flexibility, or a buffer, allows an ecosystem to respond to unforeseen demands and changes without becoming stressed. A lake, for example, is much more flexible than a garden pond. The larger and deeper the body of water, i.e. the more water it contains, the greater its responsiveness to heat increase, nutrient input and oxygen deficiency. Transferred to a terrain design, it might therefore be advisable to keep certain areas free as a buffer for later ideas or events that are not yet foreseeable during planning. You can also call flexibility the unbound potential of change.
But back to the humus:
Now let's see together how these patterns show up in the practical organization of a humus!
The basis.
The pattern of interconnectedness can be found in the Humus design in the networking of the four movements permaculture, wilderness awareness, foodsharing and FLAKE, of course. An active representative of each grassroots movement is needed for the planning and implementation of a Humus Fest. In order to do justice to the networking requirement. A Humus core orga group has to consist of at least three active people from the three areas, which composition - whether 3 Permis or 2 Permis and 1 Wildling or 1 Permi, 1 Wildling and a 1 foodi, ... - is irrelevant here.
Was verbirgt sich hinter dem Begriff „Permakultur“?
„Permakultur ist ein begeisterndes, mitreißendes Werkzeug, die eigene Welt zu verändern. Wir erkunden und gehen Wege, zukunftsfähige Lebensweisen und Lebensräume zu gestalten und zu erhalten. So soll für Mensch und Natur dauerhaft Entfaltung möglich sein. Permakultur kann auf alle Bereiche menschlichen Wirkens angewandt werden, z.B. im Garten, in Gemeinschaften, in Betrieb und Schule, im eigenen Alltag und der persönlichen Lebensgestaltung, in der Landwirtschaft, in Städten und der Politik.“ Quelle: Permakultur Akademie Berlin
Was verbrigt sich hinter dem Begriff „Wildnispädagogik“?
„Die so genannte Wildnis war unser aller Heimat. So wie alle Naturvölker, alle Jäger- und Sammlerkulturen waren auch wir damals auf eine unvorstellbar tiefe und vielschichtige Weise mit der Natur in all ihren Aspekten und Erscheinungsformen vertraut. Nicht nur mit unserem Verstand, sondern auch mit unserem Gefühl und unseren Instinkten waren wir auf das Engste mit der uns umgebenden Schöpfung verwoben und wir verstanden uns als Teil davon. Im Laufe unseres Kultivierungs- und Zivilisierungsprozesses ist uns die Natur fremd geworden. Wir verstehen sie nur noch rudimentär und vor Wildnis haben wir Angst.“ Quelle: Wildnisschule Wildniswissen
Was verbirgt sich hinter dem Begriff „Foodsharing“?
„Wir sind eine Initiative, die sich gegen Lebensmittelverschwendung engagiert. Wir „retten“ ungewollte und überproduzierte Lebensmittel in privaten Haushalten sowie von kleinen und großen Betrieben. Darüber hinaus verstehen wir uns als bildungspolitische Bewegung und fühlen uns nachhaltigen Umwelt- und Konsumzielen verpflichtet.“ Quelle: Foodsharing.de
Was verbrigt sich hinter dem Begriff „FLAKE“?
„Die „Flake“ ist ein Ort der Begegnung und Spielplatz der Vernetzung, an dem Informationen, Bedürfnisse, Fähigkeiten, Ressourcen und Ideen sichtbar gemacht, kombiniert und vereint werden können. Zusammen experimentieren wir hier mit einer Alternative zum Tauschen und machen erfahrbar, was es heißt, bedingungslos miteinander zu teilen.“ Quelle: FLAKE.world
From this, the following interdisciplinary ethics emerged for the Humus Festivals:
earthcare, peoplecare, fairshare & aware(ness).
At the festivals, introductory courses on our four areas should be offered in any case, so that you can deepen everything that is touched on here and makes you curious in the workshops of the festival and experience it in practical application!
So that it can be made clear what the movements are about, where exactly the respective qualities lie and networks can learn from each other.
Especially desired are subject-related and deepening workshops, in the best case by orgainters, participants. You are very welcome to bring in all your expertise yourself! Or, if not otherwise possible, by external experts.
The participants of the festivals should also consist mainly of people from the three networks.
Because: the Humus festivals are first and foremost a networking event for them. die Humus-Festivals sind in erster Linie eine Vernetzungs-Veranstaltung derer.
Other movements or people are of course also welcome and invited, as long as they do not contradict the ethics and this basic orientation.
Each festival is given a special motto that expresses this fusion of networks.
Zum Beispiel gab es bereits folgende Motts: „Beobachte & Spiele“, „Spiele & Beobachte“, „Pflege den physischen & sozialen Raum“, „Gemische, Konzentrationen und kleine, langsame Lösungen“, „Erbeute & lagere Fessalien“, „Verschwende nichts“, „Vom Muster zum Fuchsschwanz“, „Nutze Selbstorganisation und kultiviere Festlichkeit“, „Vielfalt & ihre Verbindungen“, „Schaffe kreative Übergänge und Bindungen“, „Spare nicht am Geschmack“, „nice ’n easy“, …
The pattern of limitation is implemented in the Humus design through a limited number of participants, the size of the site, the use of electricity, the performances and the duration of the festival:
Participants and their number.
Anyone can be part of the festival. No one has to fulfil any conditions to become part of the community. Everyone is invited to join in and help shape the festival.
Each festival is limited to a maximum of 120 adults. Children are all welcome!
One purpose of this limit is to keep things cosy. Up to 120 people can still get to know each other well or at least recognise each other in 8 days in connection with the self-organisation. For another, humans do not appear too dominant over the plant and animal inhabitants of the place in a given time and place. If 1,000 people occupy a site for 8 days, all other life forms often lose out and the time it takes for the site to recover from, for example, soil compaction and habitat disturbance is much longer.
The site.
Each festival takes place on a site that is about 10 hectares in size with a maximum of 120 people. This figure should be regarded as a kind of guideline, because, as already mentioned, human dominance is to be limited.
If, for example, the site is surrounded by woodland, the site itself may be smaller than the specified key.
Electricity
Probably most unusual for most is that there is no electricity at the festival itself, unless it is generated by renewable energy.
This does not necessarily apply to set-up and dismantling work at the Seed and Crop Camps. It should nevertheless be taken to heart.
Performances.
Performances, shows or the like are very welcome, but should be handmade.
For example, music from speakers or equipment is only welcome if it is:
1. played live by the musicians
2. the amplifiers are powered by renewable energy sources (e.g.: solar-charged rechargeable batteries)
3. the music is no louder than a djembe (single-headed, West African cup drum) can be played.
This does not necessarily apply to the seed and crop camps or planning meetings.
The time.
The festival extends over 8 days. Each day is inspired by and based on one of the shields of Jon Young's 8 Shields model, which describes natural cycles. 8-Schilde-Models von Jon Young, welches natürliche Kreisläufe beschreibt.
Each day of our festival stands for one of the shields, and has a certain motto or quality. Thus the festival period forms a self-contained, let's call it dramaturgy. So all the people are there for the whole period of the festival, otherwise the group process, based on this cycle, would not work.
Day 1 - North-East - "Beginning
- a pure arrival day -
Day 2 - East - "Inspiration & Orientation"
– ein Einführungstag für die gesamte Gruppe in den Organismus „Humus-Festival“, die Selbstorganisations-Struktur wird erklärt und eingeführt, das Gelände und die Workshopbereiche werden vorgestellt,… –
Day 3 - South-East "Activation
- a day of introductory workshops in the different thematic areas (at least permaculture, wilderness awareness, foodsharing and flake) -
Day 4 - South "Focus
- a day of immersion into different thematic areas and building workshops, as well as the "Open Day" -
Day 5 - South-West "Break"
– ein Pausentag, ohne Programm, maximal Workshops die die Qualität der „Pause“ als Thema haben –
Day 6 - West "Gathering & Celebrating"
- a day for harvesting, sharing, celebrating and appreciating -
Day 7 - North West / North "Reflection".
- a day as a whole group for feedback, pooling experiences and to close the circle -
Day 8 - North-East "End"
- a pure departure day -
If needed, a seed camp (build-up camp) and a crop camp (dismantling camp) can be added.
The announcement, registration activation and sign-ins.
The link to the unlocked registration will be sent in this order as:
1. organ members and other contributors, their friends and regional projects and activists.
2. humus newsletter subscribers / people who have already been to a humus
3. people who would like to organise a Humus themselves in the future
4. people from the permaculture, wilderness awareness, foodsharing and flake networks
5. public, social media groups
(This is especially necessary in the first years of the festival establishing itself in the region in order to develop a common culture)
Sign-ins will be given preference according to the following principle:
1. sign-ins for all 8 days of the festival (so that the overall process can be experienced and the group does not become disjointed due to early departures or late arrivals)
2. sign-ins with confirmed receipt of the registration fee or cost-covering contribution, the signed liability waiver and the booklet lottery ticket within the stated closing date.
The Open Doors Day.
The pattern of permeability is brought in through the "Open Doors Day". On the fourth day, the day of the south, of making, the doors are opened for day visitors.
The "Open Doors Day" promotes transparency to, for example, the surrounding villages, their residents and projects. This day is very important to build a bridge to the people in the region and to show them that this festival has a concern that affects and includes everyone.
The number of participants for this day can increase at will.
Designing the terrain.
Das Muster der Wechselwirkung wird mit Hilfe all der Workshops aus den unterschiedlichen Richtungen aber auch durch das Mitgestalten des Geländes anhand von „Arbeitseinsätzen“ eingeflochten. Je nach Umfang braucht es dafür allerdings einen längeren Planungsprozess und Vorbereitung zusammen mit den Hüterinnen des Ortes. Blinder Aktionismus führt häufig zu zu-kurz-gedachten Lösungen. Nichtsdestotrotz: Praxis-Baustellen machen ordentlich Spaß und gelernt werden kann auch eine Menge!
Leave no trace.
The emerging community commits to leaving no unwanted visible traces wherever we gather. We clean up before we leave and make every effort to leave these places in better condition than we found them.
Prohibitions.
Apart from the guides described, there are no rules, prohibitions or compulsory solidarities at the festival. The pattern of interaction shows that in spaces without fixed norms in detail, great potential for growth develops precisely out of differences of opinion, which can be shaped by everyone.
The festival thus represents an experimental field for communal living with all its possibilities and challenges.
When important decisions are made, sociocracy is recommended as a decision-making method.
Doch: However, people who stand out in a particularly negative and dangerous way, such as manipulators, are immediately disposed of. There are children and defenceless people present, that's where the fun stops. The core orga present forms a sovereign and responsible council with the site guardians, which decides on such cases and takes immediate action if necessary.
Diversity is expressed on the one hand by the fact that the festival should be open to people of all ages, people with disabilities, of a different language or without financial means. Animals should also be welcome and taken into consideration. Furthermore, the pattern is expressed in the practice of sharing. Sharing is about the individual qualities and abilities of people and their relationships with each other. Sharing is encouraged and valued at all times.
Dealing with money.
The pattern of feedback is shown in dealing with money.
The financial model consists of a registration fee and voluntary donations and serves as a model of a shared economy.
If possible, the registration fee should not exceed 50 € for the whole week. Children participate free of charge, of course. This money is intended for the basic infrastructure needed, such as building composting toilets, getting large tents or tools. This material can then be permanently available to the Humus network for other festivals.
All other costs such as food and kitchen supplies, consumer goods, allowances for speakers and artists and workshop materials are covered by voluntary donations. There is a transparent presentation of the financial overview with a donation pot for each of these areas.
Only when solidarity donations have been received for, let's say, kitchen supplies, can gas bottles for cooking be bought accordingly.
It is also encouraged to solve as much as possible without using money.
Sharing.
Another form of feedback is seen in the sharing of knowledge and skills. While a pretzel, for example, undoubtedly becomes less if it is shared. Knowledge and skills increase through sharing!
Unconditionality is what makes sharing so valuable. Those who share do not think about whether they will get something back or can exchange something of equal value for it. Sharing is about people's individual qualities and abilities and their relationship to them and to each other. This should be encouraged and valued at all times.
The pattern of momentum is divided into several parts.
Everything starts with the emergence in early spring.
Alles fängt an mit der Entstehung im Vorfrühling.
The humus year starts with the big Humus-Early-Spring-Thing, a reflection and planning meeting in spring. At this meeting, all those who would like to participate in a Humus festival have the opportunity to dream up, plan, decide and set in motion the festivities for the current year.
The recommendation is to spend a lot of time together around the fire with spontaneous conversations, jokes and jam sessions. Because the basis of Humus culture is celebration and joie de vivre, remember?
The participation key.
The desired key between organisers, i.e. co-creators and participants, is 1:1, which means that everyone who participates in the festival also participates in its organisation, at the latest when the festival begins.
The kitchen.
Recommended is a fixed cooking circle, which has the main responsibility for the meals. It strives for full catering and the food overview and is supported by the foodsharing circle and all others.
Self-organisation.
Organising in advance takes place in sovereign circles. For example, there is the permaculture circle, infrastructure circle, registration circle, foodsharing circle, kitchen circle and so on. Circle organisation is modelled on sociocracy. Sociocracy is not only a method for decision-making, but also applicable on the structural level.
At the festival itself, self-organisation is lived in different circles. They vary in size and have their own areas of responsibility.
(The following examples are based on a festival with 80 people).
The first circle is yourself.
Take care of yourself and your needs. Communicate them respectfully.
The second circle is your gang. It consists of about eight people.
Spend time together, get to know each other, care for each other, look out for each other, for example, do regular health rounds, play games or join forces to plan a joint project even beyond the humus time. Ideally, the four points of the compass are equally represented in each gang.
The third circle is the four cardinal directions, each represented by 20 people.
Each cardinal direction directs its attention to specific areas of responsibility. These are based on the one hand on the 8-shield model and on the other hand on ethics, the realisation of which is important for temporary coexistence and benefits everyone. Tasks of the cardinal circles are, for example: to take care of food sustainability, to maintain the compost toilets, to collect firewood or to encourage music, games and silliness.
The fourth circles are the workshops. There are an indefinite number of these.
Learn and teach together and from each other.
Finally, the fifth circle is the festival itself, in our example consisting of 80 people.
This circle could, for example, consist of a joint morning or evening round with a funny little 80-people game.
Overall development.
No umbrella organisation like an association should be founded for the Humus festivals. They should remain an initiative and grassroots movement.
The festivals can become more and more regional over time, i.e. the co-organisers and participants come from a radius of about 100 km. The guiding questions are: How can Humus promote networking in the region and how can the region enliven Humus?
Every Humus should enter into cooperation with regional people and projects. The stronger the networking to and in the surrounding region, the more fruitful the event will be.
Networking would be possible, for example, with: solidarity farms, also called SoLaWis, community gardens, farmers, Transitiontown movements, wilderness schools, forest kindergartens, free schools, food sharing groups, for-free shops, RepairCafés, tent rentals and food councils.
If the advantages of a non-profit association are needed, a cooperation with Pfadis e.V., the self-governing association of the Pfadis of Wildgestaltung, can be entered into. Pfadis e.V., dem selbstverwalteten Verein der Pfadis der Wildgestaltung eingegangen werden.
Freedom of design.
Das Muster der Flexibilität zeigt sich in der Gestaltungsfreiheit, die jedes Festival einzigartig machen kann.
Jedes Festival hat seine besonderen Merkmale, geprägt durch die unterschiedlichen Orte und die Art und Weise, wie die vorgestellten Muster in der Praxis umgesetzt werden. Diese Vielfalt erlaubt es den Hauptorganisator*innen, die Leitfäden nach Bedarf zu modifizieren und kreativ anzupassen.
Voraussetzung ist, dass diese Anpassungen sich im Rahmen der Werte und Prinzipen der basisbildenden Bewegungen abspielen. Außerdem, dass sie in ihren Überlegungen, dem Etablieren und Evaluieren einem vollständigen permakulturellen Gestaltungsprozesses folgen und ebenso nachvollziehbar und reproduzierbar dokumentiert werden. Diese Dokumentation wird nach dem Fest veröffentlicht, um das gesamte Netzwerk zu bereichern und kollektives Lernen zu fördern.
Wichtig ist nur, dass diese Dokumentationen nachvollziehbar sind, einen reproduzierbaren Überblick über euren Prozess und die Ergebnisse liefern und auch gerne gelesen, angesehen oder angehört werden sollen. Im Falle einer schriftlichen Dokumentation sprechen wir von einer Länge von etwa einer Din A4-Seite etwa. Es soll natürlich auch attraktiv zum Nachlesen sein, 40 Seiten schrecken da eher ab. Ein wenig hängt der Umfang der Doku auch von dem Umfang der Änderung ab, ob ihr nur ein kleines Detail ändert oder einen gesamten Leitfaden.
Hier ist eine grobe Skizze für das Vorgehen zum Umgestalten von bestimmten Aspekten der Leitfäden:
Erster Schritt: Beobachten
Ort und Umfeld analysieren: Untersucht den Ort und das Umfeld des Festivals unter Berücksichtigung ökologischer, sozialer und kultureller Aspekte
Ziele und Visionen setzen: Definiert klare Ziele und Visionen, die mit den Werten des Festivals und den Bedürfnissen der Teilnehmer*innen übereinstimmen
Lernanliegen formulieren: Bestimmt, welche Lernziele und -erfahrungen für die Teilnehmer*innen durch die Neugestaltung des spezifischen Aspekts der Leitfäden erreicht werden sollen
Gestaltungsanliegen formulieren: Definiert konkrete gestalterische Änderungen oder Innovationen, die durch den Prozess angestrebt werden. Sammelt Ideen und Vorschläge von allen relevanten Beteiligten
… (alle anderen Methoden, die euch einfallen. Probiert gerne alles aus, was euch sinnvoll erscheint)
Kontinuierliche Dokumentation: Erfasst den Prozess und die gemachten Erfahrungen kontinuierlich
Zweiter Schritt: Analyse
SWOT-Analyse: Identifiziert Stärken, Schwächen, Chancen und Risiken in Bezug auf das Festival und die geplanten Änderungen
Input-Output-Analyse: Bestimmt die Ressourcen (Input), die in den Prozess eingebracht werden, und die gewünschten Ergebnisse (Output). Nutzt diese Methode, um die Wechselwirkungen zwischen verschiedenen Elementen zu verstehen und sicherzustellen, dass die Änderungen harmonisch mit dem Rest des Festivals zusammenarbeiten
Produktqualitäten-Analyse: Bestimmt die gewünschten Qualitäten der Endprodukte (z.B. Festivalatmosphäre, Zufriedenheit,…) und prüft, wie die Leitfäden diese Qualitäten beeinflussen
Elemente-Funktionen-Analyse: Untersucht jedes Element des Festivals (z.B. Workshops, Bühnen, Essensplätze,…) hinsichtlich seiner Funktionen und prüft, wie Änderungen an den Leitfäden die Funktionalität verbessern oder erweitern können
Zonenanalyse: Analysiert den Festivalort und seine Umgebung, indem ihr Zonen basierend auf Nutzung und Einflussbereich bestimmt
Stakeholder-Analyse: Identifiziert alle wichtigen Interessengruppen sowie deren Erwartungen, Bedürfnisse und potenzielle Beiträge
Musteranalyse: Untersucht bestehende Muster und Prinzipien, die auf das Festival angewendet werden können
… (alle anderen Methoden, die euch einfallen. Probiert gerne alles aus, was euch sinnvoll erscheint)
Kontinuierliche Dokumentation: Haltet den Prozess und die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse stets fest
Dritter Schritt: Designen
Muster und Prinzipien integrieren: Identifiziert relevante Muster und Prinzipien, die auf das Festival und seine spezifischen Bedingungen angewendet werden können
Entwurf erstellen: Entwickelt einen Entwurf, der diese Muster integriert und die Leitfäden entsprechend anpasst
Feedback einholen: Überprüft den Entwurf durch Rückmeldungen aus der Gemeinschaft und passt ihn gegebenenfalls an
… (alle anderen Methoden, die euch einfallen. Probiert gerne alles aus, was euch sinnvoll erscheint)
Kontinuierliche Dokumentation: Dokumentiert den Designprozess und die gemachten Erfahrungen fortlaufend
Vierter Schritt: Umsetzen
Ressourcen und Fähigkeiten sicherstellen: Stellt sicher, dass alle benötigten Ressourcen und Fähigkeiten vorhanden sind, um den Entwurf erfolgreich umzusetzen
Teamvorbereitung: Bereitet das Team und die Beteiligten auf die neuen Ansätze und Methoden vor
Erste Umsetzungserfahrungen: Setzt den Entwurf in die Praxis um und sammelt erste Erfahrungen
Anpassungen während des Festivals: Seid bereit, während des Festivals notwendige Anpassungen vorzunehmen, um auf unerwartete Herausforderungen zu reagieren
… (alle anderen Methoden, die euch einfallen. Probiert gerne alles aus, was euch sinnvoll erscheint)
Kontinuierliche Dokumentation: Haltet den gesamten Umsetzungsprozess fest
Fünfter Schritt: Reflektieren
Feedback und Datenanalyse: Sammelt und analysiert Feedback und Daten, um den gesamten Prozess zu reflektieren und daraus zu lernen
Erkenntnisse teilen: Teilt die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse und Erfahrungen mit dem Netzwerk (z.B. durch Hochladen der Dokumentation auf eine Plattform), um gemeinsames Lernen und Weiterentwicklung zu fördern
Wichtig ist noch zu sagen, dass diese Dokumentation auf verschiedenste Arten passieren kann. Ihr könnt sie als Video-Dokumentation (Tagebuch-Videos, Time-Lapse-Aufnahmen,…), fotografische Dokumentation (Vorher-Nachher-Bilder, Visuelle Storyboards, …), schriftliche Dokumentation (Protokollführung, Projekt-Tagebuch, Prozessberichte, …), kreative Dokumentation (Mind Maps, Collagen oder Mood Boards, Storytelling, …), interaktive Dokumentation (Online-Blogs oder Vlogs, Digitale Pinnwände (z.B. Miro, Trello), QR-Codes und Augmented Reality, …), partizipative Dokumentation (Community-Journal, Crowdsourcing-Dokumentation, …), künstlerische Dokumentation (Illustrationen und Skizzen, Dokumentation in Form von Gedichten oder Liedern, …), Hybrid-Dokumentation (Multimedia-Präsentationen, Interaktive E-Books, …) und so weiter und so weiter anfertigen.
An example of this pattern and a redesign of the guidelines is offered by the "Humus-Hood". In this case, the Humus Festival is embedded in another festival. Since 2015, for example, in the Burg Herzberg Festival. Every year, a more or less permanent but growing Humus crew arrives there and works on their offer, which now includes 9 stands, for around 14,000 dedicated Herzberg hippies. “Humus-Hood”. Das Humus-Festival wird in diesem Fall in ein anderes Festival eingebettet. Seit 2015 zum Beispiel in das Burg-Herzberg-Festival. Dort fällt jährlich eine mehr oder weniger feste, aber wachsende Humus-Crew ein und werkelt an ihrem mittlerweile 9 Stände umfassenden Angebot für rund 14.000 engagierte Herzberg-Hippies.
Wenn ihr tiefer in die permakulturelle Arbeitsweise einsteigen möchtet, dann empfehle ich euch den ersten Teil meiner Humus-Festival Dokumentation anzuhören. Nämlich das Hörbuch „HowToHumus – PermakulturDesign“.
Dieses Hörbuch bietet euch eine konkrete Anleitung und Inspiration um Projekte, aber auch Leitfaden-Änderungen spielerisch, effektiv, ganzheitlich zu beobachten, analysieren, designen, umzusetzen, zu reflektieren, zu feiern und zu verbessern. Dort könnt ihr erhorchen, wie Permakultur nicht nur Land und Gemeinschaft zusammenbringt, sondern robuste Systeme schafft, die den Prüfungen der Zeit standhalten können.
Dieses Hörbuch ist ein echtes Juwel für alle, die Permakultur kennenlernen, ihr PKDesign-Wissen auffrischen oder sich tiefergehend mit permakultureller Gestaltung auseinandersetzen möchten. Dabei könnt ihr euch außerdem auf die fantastischen Stimmen von Till Hagen (deutsche Stimme von Kevin Spacy), Marie Bierstedt (Kirsten Dunst) und David Nathan (Johnny Depp) freuen, die euch die Materie näher bringen.
