Festival der Taten - The HNEE Sustainability Festival
12 - 14 March 2026 | Waldcampus
The Festival der Taten invites you to shape change in the here and now - through practical action, joint experimentation and formats that make sustainability tangible and accessible.
This website is growing with the festival: in the coming weeks, more content will be added here bit by bit - including impressions, results, information on participants, supporters and much more.

Theme search for Greenpeace campaign workshop
Your idea. Your campaign.
As part of the festival, Greenpeace will hold a campaign workshop at the Forest Campus on 14 March 2026.
But before we get started:
What topic should be addressed in the campaign workshop? Anything from climate protection and biodiversity to social and ecological justice is fair game. HNEE students and staff are welcome to submit topic suggestions.
Send your ideas by the end of February to: festivaldertaten(at)hnee.de
We will collect the suggestions, consult with Greenpeace and publish the final campaign topic here on the website.
Join in and play an active role in shaping the campaign!
Fine-tuning the programme
We are currently finalising the programme. It is a colourful mix of keynotes, workshops, market and information stands, reflection and exchange, as well as excursions and a closing party! We will be introducing the first participants here in the next few days. Stay tuned!
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 der Taten 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.

Festival programme
The festival programme is largely developed by around 50 co-creators. The result is a colourful programme that inspires, encourages reflection and lets action speak for itself. The detailed festival programme will be published in January 2026.
