2021-04-28	Bee Hotel Workshop	Make a wild bee hotel!🐝 Now, you may be thinking: "Why would I want to build a hotel for wild bees in my garden? They will come into my home and sting me!" However, this couldn't be farther from the truth. What are wild bees? Wild bees are solitary bees that live without a queen or group. They do not sting, do not enter houses and they mostly stay in the garden. As long as you don't hurt the bee, the bee won't hurt you. Why is this important? Solitary bees are important for the pollination of our plants and our food stock. In the last decades, the bee population has declined significantly, but people mostly only helped the honey bees. However, honey bees are not as good in pollination as solitary bees. A bee hotel will also help the bio-diversity in our environment! How to make a bee hotel? Join the bee hotel workshop next Wednesday (the 28th of April) to learn how! The location of the workshop is at the APV in Vlissingen (Joost de Moorstraat 21). Why make a bee hotel yourself when you can just buy one from Action, for example? Not all these bee or insect hotels are the right quality and can still have splinters inside them, which can harm the bees. Do you want more information? You can read this flyer or join the bee workshop Wednesday the 28th. So Join us in building a Bee Hotel at the Student Garden together with Ms. Monique Jankowski, a local beekeeper who has a lot of knowledge and experience!

2020-01-16	Documentary Day	Are you interested in climate change? Do you think it is already happening around the world? How do you think this affects us, and what the impact might be in the near future? The HZ Green Office with the support of HZ Cult and Apv Housing has organized a documentary day. This event will be in the APV Campus, Thursday, January the 16th at 19:00. It will consist of the projection of two documentaries: 19:00 Chasing Glaciers (Directed by Mark Gregory) A world temperature increase of 1.5 °C is already inevitable and a 2 °C increase is very possible considering the path we are on now. As the climate changes, droughts will become more commonplace as major cities like Capetown and Los Angeles are predicted to lose all access to their natural water reserves. Nations such as the Maldives and Bangladesh will completely disappear underneath the ocean’s surface and desertification will destroy much of Northern Africa and the Middle East (and all of this by 2050)! Even though these problems seem existential and preventable, there is one place where the threat of Climate Change is currently manifesting itself: the beautiful country of Perú. Within their borders are 70% of the world´s tropical glaciers and over the last 40 years, they have lost almost half their surface areas. The country of 27 million all depends on these glaciers either directly or indirectly for potable water, irrigation, and hydroelectric energy. With the rise in temperature many if not all these glaciers will completely disappear. As they do, the livelihoods and water resources of the people impacted will vanish as well. There is no saving them, only to adapt to a new way of life or pack up and move. Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvhnD60DtXo 19:20 Q&A session 19:35 Building bridges (Directed by Carlijn Mulder and Nadine Smiths) Carlijn Mulder and Nadine Smits participated in the 2017 HZ Honours Programme. They created the documentary "Building Bridges" during their journey, as the honours programme gives space and the opportunity to HZ students to work on their own interesting project. Carlijn and Nadine travelled through five different countries -Thailand, Philippines, United Arab Emirates, Indonesia and Vietnam- and researched how these countries deal with Climate Change related problems. Nadine is now an advisor Water and Climate for the Province of Zeeland. She will introduce the documentary and relate her learnings to her work as a professional. After the documentary there will be a Q&A. Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDP0r2esagk 8:05 Q&A session If you would like to attend, please let us know so we could reserve a place for you! (Limited Capacity) We invite you all to enjoy these amazing films and have some drinks after! -GO
