Festival der Taten (Festival of Action) - The HNEE Sustainability Festival
Doing Things Together - Where Encounters Have An Impact
In a time of overlapping crises, we need spaces where people do not just talk about change — but shape it together. That’s exactly what HNEE’s Festival of Action offers: a place where encounters become the starting point for real action.
Climate change is no longer a future threat — it’s a present reality. This makes it all the more important to develop solutions together and take meaningful steps. In March 2026, we’ll be focusing on the value of face-to-face connection — as a source of strength for shared commitment. In a world overloaded with digital input, we often lose touch with our own actions. But real encounters connect us, give courage, open up new perspectives — and show that we can make a difference together.
The festival is more than a traditional conference: it is a hands-on, participatory event that centres on empowerment, practical relevance, and community. Through workshops, activities and excursions, participants can explore, take part, and shape ideas into action. This is how sustainability becomes something that can be experienced on site - local, concrete, and collaborative.
Under the motto “Doing Things Together – Where Encounters Create Impact,” HNEE invites everyone to get involved. Because change starts where people take responsibility, share ideas, and act together.
