Participants will need to have an enthusiasm to learn alternative cameraless photography techniques and print making, but do not need any prior experience or knowledge of photography. This is a fun, hands on, creative workshop for those who wish to try their hand at print making using cameraless photographic techniques. The goal is to create a small set of cyanotype and cyanolumen prints to take home with you. This is a hands on learning experience discovering the beauty of this print process. You will learn about the history of cyanotype, the chemical process and safe use of chemicals, paper coating for printing and working out developing times. You will also develop critical thinking skills, spatial-cognitive awareness and problem solving techniques: All of which are eminently transferrable to other fields of academia and the workplace

Participants will need to have a working knowledge of cameras, but only need to bring a good quality laptop/tablet to work on. Denise's specialties are community documentary, socio-political commentary and photography used in a therapeutic context. This is a hands on workshop for those at a intermediate to advanced level, who want to work with high resolution images and have an interest in exploring the stories photographs can tell, with a view to creating a more lasting project with their own photographic work. The aim is to understand the context in which photographs are taken, how they are used to illustrate stories and how to present the work; with an introduction to self-publishing, editing images to print, the design and creation of a photo book, exhibition series, or presentation, of a personal piece of work

Life Writing

What is 'life writing'? Life writing uses lived experiences as a starting point for a fictional work. It might take the form of a story or a play, a poem or a song, a blog or a personal essay. You might take an element of a lived event or perhaps something from your family's history; it could be an event you witnessed or simply overhead. You'll be free to experiment, changing characters' names and the setting. What's true and what's invented only you, the writer, will know!

HAW-Kiel, CAU Kiel and Stellenbosch University (SUN) are conducting joint research in the field of biosensors. The current state of the art will be presented in a lecture. There will be plenty of time for discussion afterwards. In the past, there have also been various mobilities in both directions. This is particularly feasible as SUN is a partner university of HAW-Kiel.

Small experiments in wind and water tunnels will be carried out for a deeper understanding of wind turbine aerodynamics.

Linking attitudes and values to sustainable behaviour

Why do some people behave in a more sustainable manner than others? Are wealth levels or infrastructure availability, e.g. good bicycle paths, always the root cause? Or are there some deeper underlying attitudes and values concerning sustainable behaviour that lie at the base and may be subconsciously directing our biases towards the topic of sustainability. This short lecture seeks to address these questions by exploring several potential origins of sustainable behaviour. It is part of an ongoing study that analyses how shifts in attitudes and values shape our sustainable behaviour and perception by correlating datasets from two large international organizations: The Environmental Performance Index and the IMD’s World Competitiveness Yearbook.
