Walk Cologne with the Zero Waste Schweif
A playful city stroll: you choose the time Grab the Schweif booklet and one to four friends, then wander your Kiez with small tasks that help you spot waste, reuse, and resources in everyday streets. No tour guide: you set the pace. How it works - Pick up a booklet at partner cafés, unverpackt shops, or Zero Waste Köln info stands (hours vary by location). - Work through quizzes and observation prompts designed in Cologne, usable in any urban neighbourhood. - Optional deep-dive facts on the project page after you have tried the riddles yourself. Why it matters Cologne burns roughly 2,000 tonnes of waste every day; the Schweif turns that abstract number into curiosity about what we throw away and what could stay in the loop.

Open an inclusive makerspace and learning lab
Teach fabrication skills in a room where beginners belong Fab City links local hubs where residents learn CNC, textiles, electronics, and repair side by side. The Learning Hub shares toolkits so any neighbourhood can start an open workshop with equity at the centre. What you can do - Explore Fab City as a Learning Ecosystem and the Hubs Toolkit for your city - Browse open resources on fab.city/learning-hub for curricula and governance patterns - Join the Fab City network when your group is ready to commit to local production How it works A hub maps tools, trainers, and partner schools. Open days invite residents who rarely access STEM spaces. Projects document designs so knowledge travels across the network. Why it matters Makerspaces turn consumers into builders. Inclusive labs widen who gets to shape the objects and systems they live with. Source & repost Shared here so you can get inspired or find action already happening near you.

Hofflohmärkte, neighbourhood courtyard flea markets
Browse linked tour plans through your Viertel Hofflohmärkte is a Germany-wide reuse programme: residents register a private courtyard, garden, or garage and sell pre-loved goods while neighbours follow a linked tour plan through the district. The platform runs in 30+ cities and 300+ neighbourhoods; initiator René Götz operates registration, participants organise their own courtyards. What you can do - Download the tour plan PDF for your Viertel (published about one week before each market day) - Walk the linked addresses and buy second-hand treasures from neighbours - Register your own Hof if you have landlord approval and goods to pass on How it works - Sales stay on private ground only, not sidewalks or public space - Typical hours: Saturdays 10–16, Sundays 11–16 (Munich also runs selected Friday evenings with M-net sponsorship) - No food sales; private sellers only, professional dealers are not welcome - Registration closes three weeks before each date for tour-plan marking; late sign-ups are accepted but may not appear on the map - Organisers may cancel a date if fewer than 30 courtyards register, fees are then refunded About Hofflohmärkte Neighbours register a private Hof, Garten, or Garage on Hofflohmärkte and sell used goods on scheduled Viertel days. Registered addresses appear on a tour plan published about one week before each date. Sales happen on private ground only. See city pages for local schedules and Spielregeln & Tipps for seller rules. Why it matters Every item re-homed from a courtyard is one less thing bought new or landfilled, and a chance to meet the people who live behind the front doors.
