In a workshop by and for representatives of fellow proto-Zoöps, Het Nieuwe Instituut shares a number of lessons that you learn when you become a Zoöp. On 22 April 2022, the institute added Maike van Stiphout to the organisation as Speaker for the Living. The institute thus became the first Zoöp.With her background in nature-inclusive architecture and landscape design, and and based on observing the way Het Nieuwe Instituut participates in its ecosystems, Maike, as Speaker for the Living, represents the more-than-human interests within the Zoöp and ensures that these are included in the decision-making process.

Since Het Nieuwe Instituut adopted this organisational model, we have learned a lot: for example, about listening and watching life in and around the building, gardens and ponds, about the usefulness and feasibility of various regenerative goals, about working with a Speaker for the Living, and about ways in which to get an entire organisation on board with the Zoöp idea. Some lessons are specific to the institute as Zoöp, but many of the insights gained are relevant for all future Zoöps.

Based on the lessons of Het Nieuwe Instituut as well as on what aspiring Zoöps need, in this workshop we aim to develop the outline of a training programme for Speakers for the Living.

On Friday 22 April 2022, Het Nieuwe Instituut marks Earth Day with a festive more-than-human programme. We celebrate the earth, dream about the future and dance under the stars. Have a glass of green bubbly and toast the historic moment when the institute officially becomes the world's first Zoöp. Visit the just reopened New Garden and be the first to see the exhibition In Search of the Pluriverse.

The Zoönomic Curriculum is intended for participants who are interested in starting their own zoöp or who want to become an active member of a Zoönomic Foundation. The programme is developed around the Zoönomic Method and trains the participants in the process of starting and developing a zoöp.

In this public design-scenario research workshop, participating artists, designers, architects and experts investigate marine permaculture as a (re)generative transition strategy for repurposing obsolete fossil-fuel infrastructure in the North Sea. The aim is to develop a strategy for transforming oil production platforms into marine zoöps for ecologically sustainable food forests and carbon capture.

Het Nieuwe Instituut participates in the Ruhr Triennale 2019 - Training for the Future with a training that extrapolates the zoöp concept 40 years into the future.

This is the third gathering in a series of research workshops in which the establishment of a zoöp is prepared. A zoöp is a format for collaboration between a human orgnisation and a collective body of nonhumans. The insights developed in the previous zoöp research workshop will be translated into the designs of various prototypes for instruments that help perceive the ecological development within a zoöp.

In this first in a series of workshops the statutes of the foundation are worked out that arranges for the influence of a collective bodies of non-humans within a 'zoöp'.

Lab 3: Terrafiction in the Terraforming Earth series will focus on the narrative development of a new 21st-century society, and will lead to a small collection of written or visualized speculative short stories set in the world that is laid out by the work of the previous Labs.
