Parallel to the Sustainability Week, the hands-on festival will take place on Mommsenstraße in front of the Alte Mensa from Wednesday to Friday, organized by the TU Environmental Initiative (tuuwi).

Interdisciplinary ESD teaching units on ocean acidification and sea level rise were developed as part of state examination theses and can be carried out as a project day at TU Dresden. As these are projects from physics didactics, the focus will be on the physical aspects. However, social aspects of environmental problems will also be highlighted. We are particularly interested in the extent to which students' creative and critical thinking can be promoted through the teaching units on climate change.

Registration by email: . The offer is only suitable for school classes and pupils between the ages of 14 and 17.

Because sustainability also includes the sustainability of human relationships:
Taster course and some background information on non-violent communication according to Rosenberg (NVC)
We have learned a certain way of dealing with other opinions at home and in our environment: Withdraw, blurt out, attack is the best oath or seek compromise etc....

NVC takes a different approach. With NVC you can learn to pay attention to what is really important to you / what you can stand by. On the other hand, you can also learn to find out what is important to the other person, even if he/she expresses him/herself in a completely different way. ("I hear something you don't say").

NVC requires courage. It is a way of life rather than just a communication method. And certainly not a soft-spoken one.

In two separate sessions of 1.5 - 2 hours each, you will hear a little background on NVC and then practise seeing the world differently and practising reacting to it differently. Because:

Climate change as a challenge and opportunity for social cohesion

Climate change has long been scientifically proven and is on many national agendas, and yet there are sceptics - voices that deny it or instrumentalize it politically. Recently, groups have been using the issue to push their agenda and stir up public opinion. They are defiant and even hateful towards people who are campaigning for a rethink. Climate change can be seen as one of the biggest challenges for social cohesion and at the same time as the unifying element, as we are all affected by the effects of climate change.

What can we do to stop climate change? How will my own life and health be affected by climate change? Can we still do something about climate change? What forms of climate change denial are there and how are far-right actors increasingly mobilizing against climate policy? Is the current debate even an opportunity to come together? How can this succeed?

We want to explore these and many other questions as part of the TUD Lectures PLUS "Social Cohesion" on June 18. Dr. Manès Weisskircher, Head of the BMBF junior research group REXKLIMA, Prof. Matthias Mauder, Chair of Meteorology, and Alice Freiberg, Head of the Research Unit of Occupational, Social and Environmental Epidemiology at the Institute and Polyclinic for Occupational and Social Medicine, will answer questions from the audience. The event will be moderated by Prof. Moritz Ingwersen, Junior Professor of North American Literature with a focus on future studies.

Speakers: Prof. Matthias Mauder, Chair of Meteorology, Dr. Manès Weisskircher is head of the BMBF junior research group REXKLIMA (Right-wing extremism versus climate action?) at the Institute of Political Science, TU Dresden and Dr. rer. medic. Alice Freiberg, head of the research area of occupational/social/environmental epidemiology. She works at the Institute and Polyclinic for Occupational and Social Medicine at TU Dresden.

At the information stand, you will receive tips on how to avoid waste in everyday life. Because things don't always have to be bought new or thrown away. There are numerous opportunities in Dresden to buy, repair, rent, swap, sell or donate used items. Resources can also be saved with reusable products, low-waste shopping, avoiding food waste and using free drinking water stations. And if you do produce waste, you should dispose of it separately. That way, it can be recycled. You can test your knowledge of what goes in which waste garbage can on site.

The hands-on station is an open workshop format and the mobile version of a plastics recycling workshop. The aim is to get people interested in plastic recycling without a lot of background knowledge and to relate to the environmental problem by doing it themselves. At various stations, participants learn how plastics are recycled and produced and what to look out for. Participants are supervised at each station and introduced to plastics recycling and how to use the machines. The highlight is that everyone can take a recycled product home with them at the end.

Snippy teenager Juno (Elliot Page) is astonished when she holds a positive pregnancy test in her hand. After all, she only had an ill-considered one-night stand with her best buddy Paulie Bleeker (Michael Cera). Now Juno has to make a decision: What to do with the growing fetus in her belly? The screenplay by Diablo Cody and the film's soundtrack date it firmly to the indie trends of the 2000s, but the story of an unwanted pregnancy and the young woman who has to grow up as a result is consistently topical. The main focus is on Juno's own freedom to decide about her future and the future of the potential baby.
