EM(Effective Microorganisms) Workshop Series EM菌手工制作系列活动
The Workshops
-How to Use Good Bacteria in Our Daily Life-
Our first EM workshop series will be focusing on the uses of Effective Microorganisms (EM) for household purposes. This series focuses on creating a clean and safe home environment using all natural materials, based on the science behind nature and cleaning. These workshops are half lecture and half interactive, giving everyone the opportunity to create their own DIY homeware products.
This series of workshops is to encourage more self-sustained and eco-friendly practices that we can apply to our daily lives. We are preparing to start another series of workshops introducing its applications in organic agriculture in the near future.
The series consists of three workshops where we will work with a local expert in understanding EM. Each session will end on creating our EM based products and understanding their applications.
EM菌手工制作活动
-如果在日常生活中使用有益菌-
我们首个EM菌工作坊系列活动将专注于讨论EM菌在日常生活上的应用。本次活动依据天然与清洁的科学原理，注重于使用纯天然材料打造一个干净安全的生活环境。本次活动一半是内容分享，一半是实际动手制作。我们每位参与者都能亲手体验自己制作环保家用产品的过程。
我们活动旨于鼓励大家在日常生活中尽量做到自给自足和环保。我们希望在不久的将来可以开展另一系列活动，介绍它在有机农业上的应用。
该系列由三个工作坊组成。我们很荣幸邀请到了一位当地在EM菌产品制作很有经验的老师。每次活动参与者都能自己亲手制作用EM菌为原材料的各种生活用品。

The Location (Salvador Loft)
We would like to give a large thanks to Colin and Kris for providing a free space for our workshop series. Salvador Loft is one of the most vegan-friendly restaurants in town that offer meat substitute for a great variety of options on the menu.
Kris and Colin Started Salvador’s Coffee House in Dali, Yunnan in 2003. Their Kunming branch opened on Wenhua Xiang a year later. They have built their menu around fresh and healthy ingredients, and in 2016 they opened Salvador’s Loft as a new restaurant to take the healthy concept one step further. There they ferment their own tempeh and sauerkraut, they grow their own alfalfa sprouts and use locally-grown quinoa with a range of macro-bowl options, and they are always on the look-out for new and interesting locally-sourced ingredients.
活动场地(萨尔瓦多阁楼)
非常感谢克里斯和科林为我们免费提供活动场地。萨尔瓦多阁楼是在昆明非常受欢迎的素食友好餐厅。它们菜单上种类丰富的菜品都能做素食版本。
2003年,克里斯和科林在云南大理创立了萨尔瓦多咖啡馆。随后一年，他们的昆明分店在文化巷开业了。他们以新鲜、健康的食材打造他们的菜单，并且在2016年，他们开了一家新的餐厅叫做萨尔瓦多阁楼，将健康的理念进一步发扬。他们在那里自己发酵天贝和酸菜，他们自己种植苜蓿芽，使用当地生长的藜麦并提供一系列可选择的碗装料理, 与此同时，他们总是在寻找新奇有趣的本土地道食材。
