Creative workshops at M2K

• The creative workshops

  Space for projects and room for ideas

  The creative workshops at Wolfsburg's M2K are located in the Alvar Aalto Kulturhaus, right next to the fireplace. Here we offer space for curiosity and self-efficacy and a lot of ideas that we are happy to share with many children and young people!
  
  In our projects, meaningful work in artistic processes is our top priority. All those addressed - usually children and young people from daycare centers and schools - experience fundamental cultural values. In short-term projects and long-term collaborations, the participants immerse themselves in artistic idea-finding and production processes with enthusiasm, concentration and seriousness.
  
  This also includes the well-known art education project WERK-STADT-SCHLOSS, which began in 1989 as a sculpture project and has become a cultural perennial favorite in over 30 years.
  
  When it comes to art, we don't want to limit ourselves to the classic disciplines. We like to combine proven, analog methods with modern, digital techniques. We are happy to work in cooperation with educational institutions.

  Just get in touch with us and bring your group to the Alvar-Aalto Kulturhaus!

• Offers for kindergartens and school classes

  What can groups experience with us?

  In the creative workshops, you find solutions through action. You experience that there is no "right" or "wrong" per se. An experience that teaches you to give space to every idea, every thought and to classify and evaluate it objectively with flexibility in the given context.
  You can find out how this can happen in the program. Don't be afraid to express your wishes! We love challenges, enjoy developing ideas and regard the proposed offers as a work in progress!

  Eichendorffschule Wolfsburg Grammar School/High School

  

  The art lessons in the elective compulsory art course of the 7th grades of the Eichendorff School take place in the creative workshops. Every second Tuesday, the participants work on their ideas and topics for 3 hours. These are developed together with the teachers. The students become artistically active. The time frame allows for in-depth work. The premises offer space for projects that would be difficult to implement in school.

  ᠎Pending Translation: 2026 – Schattenbilder – Was ist mein guter Ort?

  ᠎Pending Translation: Werk-Stadt-Schloss findet statt vom 09. März bis zum 20. März 2026

  Ausstellungseröffnung am Dienstag, den 21.04.2026, 15 Uhr in der Bürgerhalle, Rathaus A

   

  

  ᠎Pending Translation:

  WERK-STADT-SCHLOSS, das Kunstvermittlungsprojekt der Kreativwerkstätten im M2K geht in die 34. Runde! 40 Auszubildende aus verschiedenen Betrieben Wolfsburgs werden sich mit Licht und Schatten beschäftigen.
  
  Schattenspiele sind in ganz verschiedenen Formen bekannt. Die geformte Hand ergibt als Schatten einen Hundekopf, die ausgeschnittene Form kann vor einer halbtransparenten Fläche in Bewegung kommen, das Arrangement von wahllos wirkenden Dingen erzeugt im Schattenbild ein stimmiges Ergebnis. Das im Licht sichtbare kann im Schatten also zu etwas ganz Anderem werden. 
  
  Mit dieser Wirkung wird im diesjährigen Projekt gearbeitet. Bei WERK-STADT-SCHLOSS findet das Schattenspiel in einem selbst entworfenen Raumobjekt statt. Skulpturenhaft stehen diese Figuren in der Ausstellung und lassen den Blick auf einen guten Ort zu.
