  • Kurki: why eco-villages are so important
    14 September 2019, by Eva Wissenz

    We are lucky in Tampere, we have a beautiful eco-village only 45min drive accessible to learn tons of things. And for those who want to travel without polluting, the bus 55 is taking you there. I’ve been there with family and friends a couple of times.
    The place is called Kurki and it’s located in Vesilahti, by the lake Pyhäjärvi. It’ s a community ecovillage and a biodynamic farm (which mean organic basically but I’ll explain the differences later if I have time...).

    6 October 2021, by Eva Wissenz

    "Ilmastosotureilla oli keskiviikkona 6.10. varsinainen #tohinapäivä! Emme osallistuneet koulun normiarkeen vaan keskityimme edesauttamaan niitä lukuisia Soturiprojekteja, joita on tämän lukukauden aikana kertynyt “rästiin” ja paljon saimmekin aikaan! Töitä tehtiin urakalla ja hyvällä fiiliksellä ja tekemisen ilo oli silminnähtävää.
    Päivään osallistui lähes neljäkymmentä Soturia. Ryhmä oli jaettu tehtävärasteille, erilaisia rasteja oli neljä: #Vaikuttaminen #Soturitaide #Kouluvierailut ja (…)
