Invited by Alice – Museum für Kinder at FEZ Berlin, the Schattenmuseum (Shadow Museum) developed an artistic contribution to the exhibition GREEN PLANET BERLIN, which brings together ideas developed by more than 250 children and young people on sustainability, urban life, and possible futures. The project starts from what often remains unspoken: climate injustice and its unequal consequences across generations and regions, opening up a space where political responsibility, participation, and children’s rights can be addressed without simplification.

A newly produced film on climate injustice, premiered in December 2025, was accompanied by an interactive activation that invited young audiences to engage critically and collectively. The performative act functions here as a shared situation, making room for uncertainty, dialogue, and the necessity of speaking about what is at stake.

The project was supported by:

Shaping Patterns was a transnational project that addressed the added value of art in education for sustainable development.

On the one hand, the cooperation between the fields of primary education and art was to be professionally accompanied, promoted and qualified in order to develop new approaches and key competencies in education for sustainable development – for human, social, economic and ecological sustainability. On the other hand, children were supported to question the world of tomorrow through their own artistic and experimental approaches and to relate them to their findings.

Shaping Patterns aimed to develop collective artistic interventions that engage a public audience while focusing on the theme of sustainable development.

The project partners are from Denmark, the Czech Republic, Germany, Greece and the Netherlands and all rooted in the arts. They place particular emphasis on involving and engaging children, families, kindergartens and schools, and have extensive experience working with the education sector, including early childhood and primary education.

From the perspective of sustainable development education, the Shaping Patterns project aimed to develop concrete methods and tools that can support elementary school teachers* and arts institutions in developing learning environments for questioning, imagining and creating new ideas for tomorrow’s world, because arts and culture can play a central role in the development of new patterns, ways of thinking and attitudes.

Within the framework of the EU funding ERASMUS+, Shaping Patterns was implemented from October 2022 to October 2024 with six partners from Viborg, Aalborg, Athens, Ostrava, Rotterdam and Berlin.

As a result of Shaping Patterns, an app has been created that contains challenges through which children and adults can artistically and playfully contribute to supporting the healing of our planet.
