The ClimateWorlds (KlimaWelten) in the center of the city of Hilchenbach is a certified Regional Centre of the State of North-Rhine Westphalia for Education for Sustainable Development in South Westphalia. The project year 2025/26 focused on the theme of “Planetary Boundaries” and offered respective events for the education sector and for multipliers.

From November 2025 to March 2026, KlimaWelten Hilchenbach presented »Planetary Boundaries«, an exhibition by Marcel van Beek. The exhibition interacted with the various educational programmes through workshops, lectures and public events.

Some of the exhibited works can also be found in a virtual exhibition at the online gallery SINGULART. (direct link).

In collaboration with the Institute of Education and Didactics at Leipzig University, I conceived and delivered two lectures and the accompanying exhibition “Urbs accommodata” for the two lecture series “Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Municipal Climate Adaptation” in the summer semester 2024 and winter semester 2024/25.

As part of the City of Leipzig’s Long Night of the Sciences on 23 June 2023, my works on the theme of “Unsustainable Earth” were shown at the Leipziger KUBUS event venue. Visitors were also offered a guided tour of the exhibition.
