Welcome to the 4th #ShelterChallenge wednesday update... Yesterday I had a good talk with some members of the discgolf-chapter of TuS Ost #Bielefeld. We had a walk together and discussed some potential shelter places on site. A cooperation for a public art construction site starting in may 2026 to build two shelters seems possible. Because of a deadline on the 15th february I proposed the art construction site to the Bielefeld Democracy Fund. With the slogan "Together into the future" it spends money on projects that are for example empowering people. A subgroup of the city council decides until april 2026 which projects receive money (up to 3000 euro each). The shelter construction project aims to empower people and to allow participation: While building shelters together and later when they are used. There are people in germany who say they won't have the possibility to have one week of holiday trip a year. This was announced by a governmental german statistical institute (I wrote about it in the application to the democracy fund): https://www.destatis.de/DE/Presse/Pressemitteilungen/Zahl-der-Woche/2025/PD25_26_p002.html (in german) In january i had friendly email contact (in english) with the danish ministry for the environment "Naturstyrelsen". They have example construction plans for shelters on their website. They told me that in recent times mostly modell 7.1 small and 7.2 middle are build. I read in another source that after a donation of about 2.6 million euro from a foundation about 400 new standard-shelters are being build in denmark in the last years. Here you can look through the examples for yourselve: https://naturstyrelsen.dk/regler-og-tilladelser/skilte-borde-og-baenke-smaabygninger/smaabygninger-i-skoven/eksempelsamling Next week i will present an artistic shelter-proposal by me with a focus on building with nearly no money while re-using local materials... Bye bye for now. #Shelter #Discgolf #democracy #participation #Naturstyrelsen #eksempelsamling
