Festival der Taten (Festival of Action) - The HNEE Sustainability Festival

Doing things together - where encounters have an impact

In a time of multiple crises, we need spaces where people not only talk about change, but also shape it together. This is exactly what HNEE's Festival of Action offers: a place where encounters become the starting point for concrete action.

Climate change has long been a reality. This makes it all the more important to develop solutions together and take action. In March 2026, we are therefore focussing on the value of personal encounters - as a source of strength for joint commitment. In a world full of digital sensory overload, we often lose touch with our own actions. But real encounters connect, encourage, open up perspectives - and make it clear that we can make a difference together.

The festival is more than a traditional conference: it is a hands-on festival that focuses on empowerment, practical relevance and community. In workshops, activities and field trips, people try things out, put them into practice and shape them. In this way, sustainability can be experienced on site - locally, concretely and together.

Under the motto "Doing together - where encounters have an impact", HNEE invites you to get active. Because change begins where people take responsibility, share ideas and act together.

Kick-off meeting on 23/09/2025

The starting signal for the Festival of Deeds will be given on 23 September 2025: At the joint kick-off meeting from 3 to 6 p.m. in the foyer of the canteen on the city campus, all co-creators and other festival stakeholders - including representatives of our Property and Eco-management department and the AStA - will come together.

Together we want to share ideas, create synergies and lay the foundation for a moving festival.

Das Festival der Taten an der HNEE macht Nachhaltigkeit erlebbar – durch Begegnung, gemeinsames Handeln, Ausprobieren und kreative Mitmachformate.
