Water as a theme that resonates immediately
Rivers, lakes, and streams shape every city not just in terms of scenery, but also as a habitat for animals and plants. This is where the course starts: children from 6 years old and adults discover with watercolors how pollution, biodiversity, and urban nature are closely interconnected. The workshop playfully combines environmental education with creative expression and creates a calm, focused event atmosphere for families and curious museum visitors.

WerkStadtMuseum with a clear signature
The WerkStadtMuseum series takes place regularly on the fourth Saturday of the month and is aimed at people who love to create together. Working with experienced creatives and artists is at the center of this, no prior knowledge is needed. This results in a low-threshold workshop for the audience with plenty of space, sensory material experiences, and a strong target group approach for families, children, and culture-interested adults.

The place: a museum with history and good accessibility
The event location is the Culture and City History Museum at Johannes-Corputius-Platz 1 in 47051 Duisburg. The building is located at the inner harbor, near the old city wall, and can be easily reached by subway line 901 to the Rathaus Duisburg stop; from there, it's about a three-minute walk. Parking is available at the town hall or in the City parking garage at Unterstraße 19. The museum is largely accessible; only one last area of city history is not yet barrier-free.

The artistic voice behind the workshop
Behind the format is artist Eden Lumaja, who has been publishing animal protection illustrations since 2012 and closely connects her work with environmental and animal rights issues. On her website, she describes how she draws attention to grievances with her illustrations while creating creative access for young people. This connection between attitude, design, and mediation also characterizes the workshop in Duisburg. ([eden-lumaja.com](https://www.eden-lumaja.com/?utm_source=openai))
