AEB says “thank you” for 2024 and invites you to join our annual campaign:

Catch your breath for 2025.

The idea for 2025: a workshop space made of air.

Bringing creativity courses to children, even right in your neighborhood.

Children need air to breathe and space for creativity. Together, we can make sure they have it. With the creative NGO ART HELPS and other partners. A kind of inflatable tent, colorful, mobile, buoyant, ethereal, playful. Easy to assemble and disassemble. Ready to take on the road. We invite kids near AEB's offices to discover and cultivate their creative potential. With lots of air. And fun. And love.

The plan for now: Air does good.

Let's join forces to do something special.

This means setting a few things in motion: First, finding more allies and securing funding, then collecting ideas on how to turn the shell into a unique space that can be used for projections, complete with a tube-like entry portal. Then arranging for a textile studio in Switzerland to create the tent. Planning the workshop dates, inviting the kids, organizing their activities … and the list goes on. Will you join us?

The inspiration: The CREATIVE POP-HUB

This air whale for Ukraine gave us the idea.

The creatives at ART HELPS are partnering with the Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts to experiment with temporary spaces. The giant whale has been at home in Ukraine since October, providing a space for workshops in places where such spaces are hard to find. Our version draws inspiration from the original but takes the idea to a new level. The aim is to create a completely new sense of space, partnering with the wonderful team at ART HELPS to offer the first workshops not tied to a specific location.
