Mikrocosmos workshops form an artistic and educational platform focused on the invisible yet fundamental world of soil. Bringing together art, science, and ecology, they introduce participants to soil microbial life, hidden energy processes, and the role of soil in sustaining ecosystems and food systems. Soil is approached as a living, dynamic network of relationships rather than an inert material.

The methodology of Mikrocosmos is rooted in hands-on participation and experiential learning. Children and adults experiment with simple scientific tools, build soil batteries, observe microorganisms, and create handmade objects that bridge knowledge and imagination. Artistic practices act as a way to activate understanding and environmental awareness through direct experience.

The Mikrocosmos workshops were developed as part of the Film Seed Festival project, serving as an educational tool for its upcoming iterations, and were funded by the Cyclades Preservation Fund. They were offered to the public on two occasions at the Pnevmatiko Kentro Smardakitou and in an educational format at the Loutra Primary School, adapting to different age groups and local contexts.
