What questions emerge when we pay attention to the wild plants growing around us? Foraging questions unfolds as a guided walk through the urban landscape. Drawing a parallel between foraging edible plants and gathering questions, the workshop invites participants to engage with ecosystem regeneration through observation, dialogue, and unexpected encounters.
In the first part of the workshop, participants walk together to identify wild plants growing in the city and ask what they can reveal about the environments they inhabit. This shared exploration becomes the starting point for reflection and discussion.
At the end of the walk, one question emerging from the group experience is selected as the prompt for a facilitated philosophical conversation. In this way, the workshop approaches philosophy as a collective practice rooted in attention to the environment and nourished by shared inquiry.
Drawing on philosophical practice beyond academic contexts, the workshop creates an accessible space for dialogue, critical thinking, and new perspectives on how we relate to the ecosystems around us.
No prior knowledge is required. Participants should wear comfortable clothing suitable for walking outdoors and are advised to bring water, sunscreen, and a towel to sit on.
