6 August 2025

Location: Freie Feldlage, Germany

This hands-on workshop will digest anti-extractivist conversations from the day at the Alt Shift festival, through the tactile practice of lino printing. Drawing inspiration from soil cores, each participant will carve and print a layer that symbolises what needs to be returned to the ground: gestures of repair, resitance, and regeneration. Together these layers form a visual archive of what it means to undo extractive systems. No experience needed, just a willigness to explore with you hands!

De Sering Rhoneweg 6, 1043 AH Amsterdam, Netherlands

On May 23, RE-PEAT & TestTafel are hosting a unique dinner at De Sering, Amsterdam in the light of World Peatlands Day. It will be an evening where farmers, artists, policy thinkers, campaigners, researchers and more come together around one table. The event will be in Dutch only.
Over a peatland-inspired menu featuring ingredients from wet cultivation, we’ll share food and dive into big questions:
🌱 How do we care for land in a time of ecological and political change?
🌱 What does a just transition for peatlands and food systems look like in the Netherlands?
🌱 And how can we connect across sectors and stories?
This is a space for muddy questions, new connections, and shared reflection.

This event has been created with the financial support of Wetlands International – European Association and the LIFE Programme of the EU.
