Planned events

We will inform you about events prepared in 2019 soon enough.

Past events

We regularly organise events with the main goal of raising awareness of the Sustainability topic.  Several events also focused on hearing people’s feedback and experiences through debate or a brainstorming session.

Presentations on the topic of individuals’ and/or companies’ sustainability

2017
In 2017 we presented sustainable issues on these occasions:

  • presentation at Earth Day in Zeleneč u Prahy,
  • stand at Elderly Day on náměstí Jiřího z Poděbrad in Prague,
  • presentation at CEMS Block Seminar at Vienna University (WU) focused on managing the change towards a greater sustainability in companies.
Sustainability Evenings

The events are meant to raise awareness and teach about key sustainability issues, and how to take action locally.

Xmas gifts made sustainably workshop 11. 12. 2018
On 11th December, a Xmas gift-making workshop took place in JazyGo (Mánesova 28, Praha) from 6:30 PM! You could get inspired there how to spend Christmas more sustainably and take away something original for your family/friends. Photos from the event.


3rd edition 22. 11. 2018
The third Sustainability Evening with the topic Sustainable consumption was held on 22nd November 2018 from 6:30 PM, this time in Campus Hybernská. There were workshops on DIY cosmetics and projection of the film A Simpler Way. Invitation for the event. And some pictures.


2nd edition 22. 5. 2018
The second edition of Sustainability Evenings, entitled Sustainable Sea, took place on 22nd May 2018 from 7PM in Prague’s Studio Alta again. After an introductory debate, we watched the film Sea of Life, which dives into some of the most spectacular ecosystems on the planet. It focuses on both the destruction that’s happening in the ocean and the efforts underway to stop it. The purpose of our event, in cooperation with Ekofilm Echoes, was to draw attention to how humans have a big impact on the chemistry of our oceans. The event is documented by several pictures.
1st edition 7. 12. 2017
The first edition happened on 7th December in Studio Alta from 6PM. The theme was Zero Waste, a concept focused on reduction of trash (mainly plastic) and finding reusable and recyclable alternatives. During the first edition of Sustainability Evenings we tried to show you how you can incorporate this philosophy into your day to day life. The program consisted in meeting local zero waste vendors and NGOs, a documentary screening of “The Clean Bin Project”, followed by a discussion on how to take action locally.
