The second local meeting of the Actionbound project brought together a group of engaged individuals committed to designing an interactive scavenger hunt focused on sustainability and social justice in Ulm.
A new participant with experience in community support, including food bank initiatives, joined the team. The meeting began with a brief overview of the project’s national and international scope, emphasizing collaboration with partner schools and a broader educational impact.
Small groups presented updates on locations selected for the scavenger hunt:
- Radgasse 8 emerged as a central spot due to its diverse social initiatives, including support for refugees, cultural access, and water justice. An interview with a representative is already being arranged.
- The city library stood out for its accessibility and wide range of resources—digital archives, maker spaces, and language courses. Further research and a possible collaboration with staff are planned.
- The House of Sustainability has already been visited, with a filmed interview currently in editing. A station for the scavenger hunt is in development.
- The memorial site at the courthouse, which commemorates victims of Nazi-era injustice, was presented with ideas for integrating historical reflection and interactive elements.
A central question raised during the meeting was whether to choose locations based on SDGs or select impactful places first and then link them to relevant goals. Most favored starting with places that resonate and building connections from there.
Ideas were also collected for SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities) and SDG 13 (Climate Action). Suggested locations included community gardens, solar-powered trash bins, a packaging-free shop, and public drinking water stations.
Technical aspects were briefly discussed, such as preferred video formats and editing options. Emphasis was placed on keeping content accessible and engaging.
Next steps include filming interviews, contacting local organizations, and finalizing content. The goal is to complete the scavenger hunt by July, potentially aligning with Ulm’s sustainability week. The next working session is scheduled for May 12, 2025.
