OUR NEXT MONTHLY WORKSHOP WITH JOHAN GIELIS
Saturday, December 2th, 3-5pm CET*, 2 hours
SUPERCIRCLES! THE SECRET OF UNPERFECTION
Mathematician and bamboo expert JOHAN GIELIS from Belgium has found a formula that tells us why bamboo is so strong and versatile. We often think that perfection is the ultimate. Bamboo and the Supercircles prove us wrong...
If you want to be well prepared for this paradigm shift, we recommend to buy Johans book about supercircles and the superformular 'Inventing the Circle: The Geometry of Nature"
„Surprising things happened in the last workshop! Underneath the surface, like bamboo rhizomes, we connected and exchanged.“

Kjell Tahon has a broad international experience in socio-economic agricultural projects in Africa and Europe. As the general manager and shareholder of BAMBOOLOGIC, a Dutch company partnered with Hive Energy, he will explore with us whether bamboo can be a rewarding and sustainable alternative for the transitioning European agricultural sector. It may address various ecosystem issues such as carbon sequestration, regenerating degraded land, erosion prevention, retaining water in the soil's top layer, and extracting toxins from the soil.
"Our goal is to plant thousands of hectares of bamboo in Europe over the next two years and remove about 1,000,000 tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere."
