Case Study: Performances on the future of food- TTT Pilot Berlin
Martin – Series of performances on the future of food - Vienna
Performances: bike-tour, party, theater, expert input, included in the cultural festival
Methodological aspects:
advertisement worked well, because it was included in the cultural festival, information was included in the official media campaign, mentioned in official press releases; there was media interest in advance; but still the majority of the people attending was from the scene, a few “new” people where reached; everything was in German, might have reduced the diversity → the funding would have allowed translation
People were encourage to register before, to make the organizing of food easier; registering was possible via email and phone (which were on the leaflets distributed before); also a cell phone number was provided so that people could call during the tour and join the bike tour later
childcare:
people were responsible for their children; pregnant woman used the rickshaw
theater was officially allowed; a good spot in the center was allocated; problem was weather, theater should happen in summer;
there were experts for the theater and for the stops of the bike-tour; expert input was street lectures
on the 2nd bike-tour: games → more participatory
example:
people went to different food distribution places, like small food shop run by immigrants, average supermarket, gas station, farmers market, organic farmers market, discounter
then there look for aspects like from how far do the products come, which one is the most local one, which one comes from far away; look for diversity in the shops, the amount of products by one company in a shop/market
one topic was also working conditions in agriculture: problem in Vienna region is that many immigrants seasonal workers work in poor conditions → it was difficult to reach these people
