Green Events Hamburg workshop: What are aspects of a green event? (English, online)

Im Zuge des Interreg Projektes Change(K)now! möchten wir auf einen englischsprachigen Workshop hinweisen, den wir am 12. März online anbieten. Weitere Informationen folgen auf Englisch.

On March 12 from 11:00-13:00 (CET), Lukas and Frithjof will be holding an online workshop in English language on the sustainable organization of events. We will discuss which fields of action exist and which measures can be taken. We will talk about the areas in which there are particularly large levers for improving the environmental impact of an event. We include case studies and want to provide a practical insight into implementation.

In the second half, we will focus on the use of reusable (systems) and the potentials and barriers involved. We will present various areas using best practices from events.

We would be delighted if you could forward the offer to English-speaking interested parties!
