BTU4FUTURE Festival

February 9/10, 2023 - Be there!

++++ A big thank you to all contributors and guests! ++++

Climate protection and sustainable development are among the key challenges facing contemporary societies. Politics, business and civil society are equally called upon to confront the causes and consequences of climate change and to engage with the political project of sustainable development.

The transdisciplinary BTU4FUTURE festival brought together research, engagement, Cottbus culture, students, teachers, city residents and all interested parties for a 2-day open exchange on topics related to climate change mitigation and sustainable development on 9-10th February.

We got together in panel discussions and do-it-yourself actions and learnt about solutions for a better future. The program was exciting and rich in variation (see below for the program in English)

Free of charge - For all!
