Sunday Walk, 15 March, from garden to garden

Why not join this month’s Sunday Walk? A relaxed walk of around two hours, suitable for most walkers. Enjoy the surroundings and good company, with the option for a coffee at the end.

Talk: The Air We Breathe

This talk by Aletta Karsies explains what air pollution actually is, where it comes from, and how it affects our health in daily life. Recent maps of air-pollution levels across Europe and in Basel will be presented to explain how much air quality can vary from place to place.

Landschaftspark Wiese

The former floodplain on the left and right banks of the River Wiese is now a cultural landscape park used for a variety of purposes. The Landschaftspark is also the region’s “drinking water factory”, a nature conservation oasis and an ecological corridor. It is also used for both agriculture and forestry.

Finding your Circle: A New Support & Connection Group

Sometimes, despite the beautiful surroundings, we find ourselves looking for a deeper sense of connection—a place where we can speak openly and be truly heard. We will gather as a group of ten, meeting weekly for 90 minutes over a six-week period. Our conversations will be guided by what matters most to you.

Photography group and photo competitions

The photography group organises several activities and events. In addition to the workshops, the group also invites Centrepoint members – and their household members – to participate in photo competitions.

Centrepoint has the pleasure of announcing a new exhibition at its premises from 8th February until 27th March 2026 with a vernissage on Saturday 7th February from 18.00 until 20.00.
