GREEN EMOTIONS INTERNATIONAL DESIGN WORKSHOP
In 2010, the National Agency for Lifelong Learning approved a project submitted by the Department of Furniture Design and Wood Products - TU in Zvolen, an Intensive Erasmus program with the idea of organizing an international design workshop GREEN EMOTIONS with the subtext Innovative housing that protects nature. Project leader: Ing. Zuzana Tončíková, Art.D., co-leader: Ing. Miroslav Chovan, ArtD.
The project took place from 26.4.2011 to 10.5.2011 at the KDNDV. The partner universities of the Green Emotions project were: University of Forestry Sofia (BG), University of Applied Sciences Stuttgart (GE), Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice (PL), Mendel University of Agriculture and Forestry Brno (CZ), Central Ostrobothnia University of Applied Sciences Kokkola (FIN). A total of 25 students and 10 teachers from EU countries participated in the project.
The GREEN EMOTIONS workshop was designed for young designers, with one of the goals being to respond to environmental issues through design.
Students from seven countries worked in teams. For all of them, design was the common language at that moment.
During the first working day entitled THINK GREEN, lectures by foreign guests and experts from various fields of science, research and practice were held in an effort to create a space for dialogue and multicultural cooperation. Art, architecture, design and ecology offered a wide range of information and ideas for inspiration. Following the lecture blocks, creative workshops were launched, accompanied by regular presentations of progress and expert discussions on the given solution to individual topics. The international team of educators worked under the leadership of industrial designer, Prof. E. Holder from HFT Stuttgart.
The specific pragmatic goal, in addition to supporting a multilateral approach and teamwork, was the ecological legacy of the entire project. The expected outcome of the teamwork was a thought, an idea with artistic and technological benefits in the form of a conceptual idea. The closing ceremony, presentations of the resulting projects and the opening of the exhibition took place in the SNG Column Hall at the Zvolen Castle on May 9, 2011, and the subsequent exhibition continued until May 13, 2011. The winners were determined by a 15-member international commission. The jury consisted of experts such as designer Bjorn Kierulf, a specialist in energy-passive houses from Norway, Ing. Dagmar Rajčanová, manager of the ENVIROFILM festival and expert guarantor from the Slovak Academy of Sciences, experts from ECOPRODUCT company SK, design theorists such as Doc. J. Jarema from TU Košice, the Green Emotions teacher team led by industrial designer Prof. Eberhard Holder from HFT Stuttgart and others. The criteria for evaluating the outputs of student works were: /Innovative potential of the idea, Potential of the design concept, Intelligent use of space, area, structure, forms and materials, Level of presentation, Level of portfolio.../ The winning students were also awarded by the Minister of the Environment during the opening ceremony of the international film festival ENVIROFILM 2011, where the exhibition of student projects Green Emotions was also held.
A publication was published as part of the project
Green Emotions/Think Green and developed complete visual communication for WS, including a website, which currently no longer exists.

Winning project
FACE PLUG
A mechanism that you connect between the plug and the terminal of the appliance. The mechanism is intended to teach people in a funny way to forget to disconnect appliances from the electrical outlet after they are finished charging, and at the same time informs you how much extra energy you have spent. If the appliance remains plugged in (for example, a mobile phone, laptop, flashlights, etc.)
PAPER GARDEN
A system of education for children in kindergartens aged 3-6, who can recycle paper by hand and press it into a predefined shape, and then use the resulting segments to create their own furniture, which is again recyclable. The goal is to teach children to perceive the life cycle of the material.
Award-winning project
SEA WALL
A system for using special algae to purify household wastewater, which also produces butane gas, which can be used as heating energy in the home. Sea wall is unique because the main idea is to place a container with water and algae in transparent walls in the interior of the home, where they also fulfill an aesthetic function and a person can directly observe the process of biological wastewater purification.
GREEN BUS STOP
An idea designed especially for school bus stops. Children are guided to protect nature while watching their “stop” change over the seasons. In the spring they plant it and take care of it, in the summer the plants that climb the structure provide shade, in the fall they shine with colors and protect from wind and rain. In the winter the cycle ends, with nature’s work culminating and protecting again, this time in the form of snow and ice, which are captured and crystallized on a special support frame.
