A Colorful Bird Festival for Young Nature Lovers

On October 14, 2026, creatively designed nesting boxes will move into their new home at the District Office South in Duisburg. Families can experience a colorful participation program that combines children's creativity with nature, bird, and species protection.

Creativity Becomes Visible Nature Conservation

Twelve children, together with their families and under the guidance of artist Lorena Barbian, created individual nesting boxes. Each surface tells a story of imagination, color, and the desire to provide new nesting opportunities for native birds. The installation in public space transforms the small structures into a child-friendly exhibition and a sign of active environmental education.

Interactive Stations for Curious Explorers

A diverse program awaits young guests around the inauguration. They can create colorful birds on paper, discover hidden birds in a search image, and learn playfully what benefits nature. Free face painting complements the family program and ensures a cheerful exhibition atmosphere.

Cultural Education Between Art and Nature

The project connects painting, design, and ecological awareness. The examination of the works begins with the colored shapes of the nesting boxes and directly leads to questions about the habitats of native birds. This creates a lively art experience that links aesthetic experience with biodiversity. The focus on the designed objects opens up a playful access to art, nature, and community engagement for children.

A Project With an Eye on the International Garden Exhibition 2027

The action was developed with an eye on the International Garden Exhibition 2027. The individually designed nesting boxes highlight the importance of nature-friendly spaces and demonstrate how a creative idea can create a visible contribution to the district. The curation of this small project lies in the connection of artistic design, family involvement, and practical environmental education.

Conclusion: A Colorful Art Experience for the Whole Family

Visitors can expect a warm, educational, and sensually experiential family festival. The colorful nesting boxes, creative participation offerings, and playful nature communication enrich the afternoon culturally for both children and adults. Anyone wanting to experience art, environmental education, and creative collaboration up close should attend this special bird festival live.
