REST collaborated on a two-day workshop with Studio Dicky for the local primary school De Meiboom in Warns. We began each session in a circle on the field, getting to know each other and talking about life on a farm and caring for the earth. With the younger children, we started with a nature scavenger hunt to collect different fruits and bites for a picnic. At the compost heap, we discovered a special letter from Willem the Worm, inviting us to learn about composting and the circle of life. How our food scraps feed the worms, the worms enrich the soil, and in turn, help our fruits and vegetables grow! As a thank-you to the worms, the children created small sculptures and creatures using leftovers from the picnic and other natural materials. These little gifts were placed beside the letter, forming a compost world.
