  • CoDe – Co-Design for a Circular Bioeconomy
    Mehrere Personen stehen gemeinsam um einen Tisch und arbeiten kollaborativ an einer Aufgabe. Auf der Tischoberfläche liegen zahlreiche bunte Haftnotizen (in Gelb, Grün und Pink), die verteilt und teilweise beschrieben sind. Einige der Personen zeigen mit den Händen auf bestimmte Notizen oder halten Stifte, als würden sie Ideen besprechen, sortieren oder planen. Der Fokus liegt auf den Händen und der Interaktion, während die Personen selbst nur teilweise sichtbar sind. Die Szene vermittelt Teamarbeit, Brainstorming und kreative Zusammenarbeit in einer Arbeits- oder Workshop-Umgebung.
