From the first days of our lives, we are all lead by feelings and intuition. Conscious reasoning comes in later. To be happy, open and successful, we need all of this combined. In this workshop we are going to paint without brushes, but with natural materials together. You will see and feel this by yourself, “emotion and nature” goes deeper. Even if you have painted never before – you will just do it, and be surprised by the result! Ultimately, our nature are humans too.

Meet Xindanwei, a Shanghai based international open innovation program in experiential and radical learning for organization, startup and strategy development. We design and deliver creative participatory learning environments and experiences for game-changing conversations and disruptive solutions, and connect the participants with the movers and shakers of China’s creative, technology and social innovation scene. We challenge participants to leave their comfort zones, harness individual and collective creativity to evolve and innovate. The outcome is inspiration, transformation, confidence, ownership and next individual and organizational endeavor. This isn’t just about generating ideas. It’s also about making the ideas happen.
The co-working community we serve and work with is a self-nourishing network embedded in China’s creative, tech and social sectors which provides community members with the opportunity to seek out resonated spirits and share in rich discussions about creativity, entrepreneurship, innovation and impact to the society.
Julie Bauer
After a long time in education and managing a kindergarden in Germany, I saw established education methods being too narrow to unleash the full potential in pre-school and early school children. Therefore, I developed an experience based learning program for pre-school children years ago.
After having moved to Shanghai, we added arts to the program, for which we started “emotionandnature”.[/lang_en]

自从降临到人世，我们便由自己的知觉与直觉所引导着认知周遭的世界。其后，伴随着理性框架的逐步健全，逻辑推理也成为我们认知周遭的手段。当然我们不得不承认：只有将以上诸项有机结合，方能在收获快乐、保持开阔胸襟的同时赢得成功。此次工作坊活动中，我们将带领大家选用取材自大自然的天然材料，而非画笔，来完成各自的画作。在此过程之中，参与者可以用心地观察和感知，从而使得“情感与自然”的理念更深入人心。即便对于零基础的画者，结果依然会让你惊诧不已：或许，是因为你我本就是芸芸众生；亦或许，这就是那所谓的“返璞归真”。
“城市试验田”
快速重塑一个更绿色健康的自己
每个城市都需要一个健康再生资源和商品的供应，从而使得粮食，水和能源的安全得以保证。“城市试验田”呼吁人们立即采取行动，每个生活在城市的人都应该在有意识的生活，知情消费，个人行为所产生的公众影响等反面提高认知。我们致力于激发城市里的年轻人和家庭从传统生活过渡到自觉的生活，并采取行动，保持健康。
“城市试验田”为突破性的对话营造了一个全新的参与式的学习环境。该项目将展示怎样以一个创新的，以社区为重点的行动去实现可持续的生活方式。5个迷你“试验田”将接连由这些人为您呈现：艺术家，教育工作者，绿色运动倡导者
城市试验田，由“新单位”策划并呈现。 新单位通过为公司，个人和组织建立体验式和“无教师”式学习管理机制，实现真正的开放式创新。我们营造互动参与式的学习体验环境，为参与者对接中国创意、科技、以及社会创新领域的精英，以主持及开展“建设性”对话的形式来寻求“颠覆型”解决方案。我们引导参与者走出自己的“舒适区”，融入个人和团队的力量尝试改变。这不仅能激发灵感，增加信心，带来变革，更让参与者有更强的归属感，从而促进个人和组织创新上的飞跃。这当然不仅仅为了产生更多想法，更是赋予了其实现的可能。
新单位社群代表着几千名热爱并扎根于中国创意，科技及社会公益事业的人们，我们从彼此身上寻求灵感，展开对话，共同探求创新并且可持续性的解决方案。
