Gumno presents: Bokashi Workshop - Wednesday, May 3rd
GUMNO Garden and friends offer a series of special workshops for you: BOKASHI - Biowaste turns into valuable raw natural resource
The kick-off workshop takes place on Wednesday, May 3rd 19:30 - 21:00 in ERM common room (LG3B 0.20 - basement)
Detailed information:
Who?
- Hans & Konstantin - we are students of LAWA. With the financial aid of "Umwelt-Euro" we are organizing a project in which we try to produce fertile black soil.
What is the workshop about?
- During this workshop we want to show you how you can easily produce a fertile soil with your kitchen residues. All organic residues are basically raw material which can be used further. How this works and how you can also be a part of the garden in Gumno to test your self-made soil, will be explained in the first workshop event.
What can you expect?
- 1. We will cook a delicious vegan mail (sweet potato-tofu-curry-stew) with rice which Gumno will provide. Drinks, some vegan cake and salads will be provided. While enjoying your meal (you can also bring your own food additionally) you will see a presentation on how soil can be created easily with the "Bokashi" concept. In the end, we use all our organic "waste" to prepare the first phase of the bokashi.
What do you have to bring?
- Bring your own food if you want additionally (If you are really hungry ;))
- PLEASE BRING A BUCKET!!!! THIS IS ESSENTIAL FOR YOUR PARTICPIATION. Size does not matter.
How to join
- It will be a great help if you could click on "going" on the Facebook event (https://www.facebook.com/events/657193141155230/) so we can estimate how many people are coming.
- don't forget the bucket XD (10l size would be great but as already mentioned bring what you got.)
And...?
- this is only the first part of the workshop. Further events will happen. We are happy to see you.

Part1: 03.05.2017, 19:30 h: Bokashi-Workshop
Part 2: 24.05.2017 (time t.b.a.): Bon fire / BBQ for opening of new GUMNO & presentation of the concept 'Terra Preta' at BTU (all interested students are welcome) :-)

ERM Plenary Meeting - Wednesday, May 10th, 11:00 am
We are inviting all concerned students to a Plenary Meeting of the ERM Student Body.
This involves all students enrolled in one of the following programmes:
ERM B.Sc., ERM M.Sc., Euro Aquae M.Sc. and Wirtschaftsrecht für Technologieunternehmen M.B.L.
The Plenary Meeting will take place on May 10th, 2017, 11:00 am in ZHG / HS A.
The only point on the agenda will be voting on new Articles of Association for the ERM Student Body. Here you can download the draft and German translation.
The ERM Student Body is a legal institution of student self-administration and part of the BTU Student Body. Therefore, it is obliged to have Articles of Association laying down regulations on the organization of the Student Body. Our currently valid Articles of Association are outdated and need to be adapted to actual customs. In order to bring new Articles of Association into force we need a majority vote from the Plenary Meeting. If demanded we will discuss and clarify articles and finally vote on the draft. We hope to see many of you in order to have a vote from a wide base.
