Turntable is a laboratory for sustainable food production and urban planning, as well as a center for peer learning and urban culture. Turntable also functions as a training center, where citizens learn new and old basic skills, such as recycling, repairing, tinkering, peer production, processing and growing. Teaching takes place in the form of workshops and peer learning, because we all have hidden talents and knowledge that we are happy to share. Solutions found together and shared skills are powerful social experiences. During the winter season, courses are held at Dodo’s office and the adjacent kitchen at the Pasila old roundhouse.
Dodo has received course support from the Visio since 2024. In 2026, the support is planned to be used to organize a Fermentation Course, a Bicycle Repair Course, Urban Gardening ABC course, a Welding Course, a Mushroom Workshop and a Sustainability Course.
Fermentation course is a cross-section of ways to use fermentation in the preparation of various foods at home. We will delve into the preparation of sauerkraut and fermented vegetables, explore the starter of sourdough bread and bake with it, delve into the secrets of brewing ginger beer and learn how to make fruit drinks, get acquainted with the world of kombucha and its flavoring possibilities, and let our biowaste ferment and compost our leftovers with bokashi.
The goal of the course is to teach the basics of different methods and share the starter kits needed to do the different things, so that the course participants can continue their fermentation experiments at home.
