Sustainability Day 2023 in Ingolstadt

A short flight over the roofs of Ingolstadt, sports and handicrafts in the city hall arcades with the children or enjoying music, the science slam and other activities on stage? Sustainability is multifaceted, and that’s exactly how the Rathausplatz is presenting itself on this day. So innovation, sport and culture will not be neglected. The city’s offices and subsidiaries will also be available for questions and answers. The day will be rounded off with a live performance by the band Max Rogue and the Vagabounds.

Patrizia Hartmann from the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt will explain how this can be done in her lecture on the university’s new “Sustainability Coaching” programme. In addition to lectures such as “Hydrogen and me – What’s hype, what’s essential?” or “The plasticisation of the world”, you can expect many other fascinating contributions on what sustainability means. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to get active yourself: Swapping vegetable seeds from your own garden at Carraraplatz or taking part in a climate youth panel on the topic of “Sustainable architecture and urban development” are just a few highlights. The feature film “Woman”, screened by the Equal Opportunities Office of the City of Ingolstadt, concludes the event at the Volkshochschule and invites participants to join in the discussion and debate afterwards.

The “Klimaladen” (climate shop) shows how to reconcile sustainability and your individual lifestyle with information on the carbon footprint. At its stands, the sustainability network IN-Zukunft will demonstrate what kind of contribution you as an individual can make and how you can put it into practice. Tips, tricks and even hands-on solutions can be found on the “Sustainability Mile” between the Viktualienmarkt and Paradeplatz. The IN-Zukunft network’s approach is that “it’s often just small habits that, if you tweak them a little, can have a major impact on our lives and the environment as a whole”.

Bio.Regional.Tag invites visitors to exchange ideas about regional and organic agriculture. Starting in the Umweltstation (environmental station) at Ludwigstrasse No. 41 with lectures on topics ranging from sustainable garden design to self-sufficiency, visitors can continue on to the Paradeplatz to try out a wide range of the latest products from regional and organic farming. With the exchange of “old” varieties, there will even be a small glimpse into the past: Young and old alike can join in the conversation about the origin and cultivation of old vegetable varieties and stock up on “new old” varieties for their garden, raised bed or window sill.
