The youngsters of TADA (ToekomstATELIERdelAvenir) participate in TADA’s weekend schools every Saturday. Two TADA classes explore the theme of Environment. They get to discover the boat where they reflect on sustainable food alternatives. During two different GLUON workshops they get to work themselves with innovative technologies to tackle the sustainability issue in the food sector.

FeliX Art & Eco museum organises a Teacher day in collaboration with the education magazine Klasse. GLUON provides a workshop where they make fresh soup with the vegetables of the farm De Groentelaar transported by the boat.

During a Saturday afternoon, youngsters of JNM (a youth mouvement with an interest for nature) come to help on the farm De Groentelaar. Afterwards, they enjoy a boat trip on the canal.

Together with Avansa Halle-Vilvoorde, GLUON organises a herbal walk in Ruisbroek. Will you join us for a walk and discover which herbs grow in the wild? Along the way, a herborist tells interesting facts about wild herbs and gives practical tips. Participants will discover what can be done with all this natural beauty, both in the kitchen and in the home pharmacy. Afterwards, everyone is welcome for a visit on the boat.

We hop on our two-wheelers for a bike ride along the waterways on the border between Brussels and the Pajottenland region. Accompanied by Colibri Mobililty and Regionaal Landschap Pajottenland & Zennevallei, we will explore quiet parks, winding paths and hidden natural gems as we cycle through the city’s suburbs.

During the Zennefeest, organised every year on a particular location near the river the Senne, families are invited on the boat to listen to multiple kamishibai stories on nature and water told by ABC vzw. Kamishibai is a form of Japanese street theater and storytelling.

A group of Molenbeek women from the GC De Vaartkapoen get a tour of the organic farm De Groentelaar. They then sail along on the boat where they use organic apples to make their own apple juice.

We bring the story of the boat to the FeliX village. During the WAUW atliers, participants can make their own floating islands using only biodegradable materials. These islets form new small ecosystems.
