Media meets MINT - renewable energies

The children are shown how the historic sawmill works.

What comes out of the back of cows is used to generate energy that is also environmentally friendly? Dr. Eberhard Nacke from the Meier-Osthoff sawmill in Harsewinkel shows us how this works. Kanal 21 and the Walter Blüchert Foundation worked with children on media education in the “MEDIA MEETS MINT” project. Six programs were produced by the children in early summer 2024. Content was planned in workshops at schools, and interview and camera training sessions were held. The children carried out the filming and edited the films together. The participants learned about old paper production techniques and hydropower at a sawmill, modern metalworking at the Fritz Husemann company and 3D animation at David Kirchner.
