Sustainably Discover, Create and Take Away: Workshop Series in Duisburg-Hochfeld
In the Old Fire Station Hochfeld, creative making meets lived sustainability. The action series by the Duisburg Economic Enterprises invites young people and adults to practically try fermentation, clothing upcycling, and plastic recycling. Instead of mere theory, material, craftsmanship, and aha moments take center stage.
Upcycling with a Sensibility for Everyday Life and the Future
What initially looks like leftovers gets a second life in these workshops. Old jeans transform into new companions, plastic waste becomes small design objects, and food items evolve into new flavors with shelf life and character. This creates an event experience that combines creativity, resource conservation, and everyday knowledge.
Participate Instead of Watch
The workshops emphasize direct participation. Those who come along work with their hands, contribute their own ideas, and experience how something useful and beautiful grows from used materials. Particularly exciting: For clothing upcycling, participants should bring a garment that can be newly processed. This makes the appointment personal, practical, and immediate.
Cooperations with Local Expertise
The format is supported by Duisburg Economic Enterprises along with partners such as Forum Duisburg, RecycleBar, Eve’s FermentationLab, Manufaktur Baiba, PLUP – Planet Upcycling, and pialana Manufaktur. This mix of municipal organization and creative actors gives the series authority and a clear practical reference. This is how a strong target audience appeal emerges for all those who want to not only discuss sustainability but experience it.
Atmospheric Venue in Hochfeld
The Old Fire Station Hochfeld provides the suitable framework for this. The historical building with event hall stands for urban ambiance, short distances, and an open cultural feeling in the district. In this environment, the workshop series feels particularly tangible: right in Duisburg, close to everyday life and yet a conscious break from the usual.

For those eager for a lively workshop experience with real added value, creative ideas for home, clothing, and kitchen can be found here. The event combines environmental education, creativity, and practical tips into a visit that inspires and has lasting effects. Mark the date now and be there live in Duisburg-Hochfeld.
