(Press Office)Around 1000 visitors came to the Coburg Sustainability Days 2024 at the Kulturfabrik Cortendorf: Coburg University of Applied Sciences and Making Culture organized the series of exciting discussions, lectures and workshops on the topic of sustainability for the third time. The three-day event at the Kulturfabrik kicked off with two very different and, in their own way, impressive speakers: Till Kellerhoff, political scientist, author and programme director of the non-profit organization Club of Rome, spoke about “Five U-turns for a better world”.
Prof. Dr. Martin Grambow, expert for international water policy at the Bavarian State Ministry for the Environment and Health, then addressed the topic of “Sustainable water management in the Anthropocene”.
A young man and a retired professor, two generations and an urgent message: we must change course now in order to achieve the 1.5 degree target and prevent disasters.
Grambow’s focus was on water – a topic that Coburg University of Applied Sciences is also working on. Prof. Dr. Andreas Weiß from the Faculty of Design explained the influence of applied research on topics such as the water balance and flood protection.
Prof. Mario Tvrtkovic‘s contribution showed what opportunities for a better life for all lie in a change of direction today.
He explained how a “blue-green city” works. Of the blue-green city and planetary health The Sustainability Days were organized by the university together with the experimental platform Making Culture .
“They are dedicated to the preservation of our livelihoods,” explained Prof. Dr. Susanne Esslinger, who works scientifically on planetary health and was responsible for the content, planning and organization of the event as Sustainability Officer at Coburg University of Applied Sciences.
For the first time, there was a special school program at these third Coburg Sustainability Days: around 400 pupils from first to 11th grade, together with around 80 students, 20 teachers from Coburg University of Applied Sciences and nine external cooperation partners, experienced what sustainability means in a very practical way.
The event with its three-day, varied program was also supported by the university’s senior experts.
There was plenty of forward-looking specialist input, exhibitions, art projects and activities, a musical and entertaining supporting program and regional players presented their contributions.
