Workshop 

Sense — Interactive Workshop

Let us activate our senses and sense of belonging at the Library.

By closing our eyes, we open our other senses and are guided through:
     - Touching with our hands and skin
     - Listening with our ears
     - Smelling with our noses
     - Tasting with our mouths
     - Experiencing, exploring and relating with all our senses, individually and together.

The workshop explores elements of nature; new, well-known and maybe nearly forgotten – we will explore both elements of nature and our own sensing. Participants will gain embodied understanding of the power of senses as gateways to connect. The workshop includes individualized take-aways, to instantly implement more sensing in everyday (library) life. The workshop is part of the Danish, Aarhus-based Dokk1s work as ‘Green Generator’, open practice and continuous exploration of micro- and macro actions to expand the experience in our shared libraries and to bring us all closer to nature.
