Lecture series for young adventurers kick-offs at the Oversee Museum in Bremen on September 21, marking the commencement of 'knowledge journey's' new round
The Übersee Museum in Bremen is set to host a series of engaging lectures and workshops starting from September 21st, 2024. This knowledge-filled journey will delve into various themes and cultures, offering something for everyone.
Kicking off the series is a lecture about life at the Antarctic research station of the Alfred-Wegener-Institute, providing an insight into the unique and challenging experiences of researchers working in such extreme conditions.
On October 19th, 2024, the spotlight will shift to large whale species and their nurseries, with Artist Kati Eitzen leading a workshop teaching the basics and providing tips for drawing manga figures.
The second Knowledge Journey for children, on January 18, 2025, at 3 to 4 pm, will explore the world of spices, while the third lecture, on November 16th, 2024, will investigate a mysterious overseas box received by the museum.
Members of the Maki Kids Club can attend these lectures for free, with non-members paying 3 euros for children and 3.50 euros for adults. The series will continue with a workshop on drawing manga on March 15, 2025, and a Knowledge Journey focusing on the history of amber and the wasp found in it on February 15, 2025.
Meanwhile, at the Neumayer Station III in Antarctica, researchers face harsh environmental conditions, including continuous winter darkness and severe cold, which make traditional outdoor agriculture impossible. To support their needs, they employ advanced vertical farming techniques, cultivating greens in a semi-automated hydroponic container where plants grow without soil in nutrient solutions.
Living and working at Neumayer Station III involves adapting to Antarctica’s extreme isolation and climate through cutting-edge scientific methods such as vertical farming, collaboration under challenging conditions, and contributing to vital polar research facilitated by the Alfred Wegener Institute.
In addition, researchers interact closely with nature, such as observing nearby emperor penguin colonies, reflecting the integration of science and environmental awareness. The station logistics and operations are well-managed, recognised internationally for supporting Antarctic research excellence and cooperation.
