June 2024: We had a session on the 5th June at 2pm at The Nature of Cities festival in Berlin. Our topic, ‘Untangling the Interconnectedness of Biodiversity and Human Health in Urban Areas through Social-Ecological Networks’ .
We further had our 2nd workshop on urban social-ecological networks (10th-13th June). This time, the focus was on comparative approaches.
July 2023: From the 4th-6th July, we were hosting our first hybrid workshop in Berlin. Our network with experts from urban ecology and social-ecological networks came together for 2.5-days, with the aim to bridge disciplines and to kick-off our project! Zeno guided us through the workshop with some of his “Design Thinking” tools and we finished our workshop with an excursion to the Berliner Südgelände.
