Ready? Sustain... GO!

The title already gives a clear view of what story we want to tell… “Sustainability”. It is a topic that is important for everyone, every study, every job and every life.

A lot has been said and written about sustainability. Therefore, we want to approach the issue from another perspective, taking different aspects of our society into account. Sustainability plays an important role in every study, every job, and every life. By tackling topics such as sustainable fashion, marketing, and mindset, we hope to expend your thoughts, activate critical thinking and reach the outstanding. Our blooming speakers are ready. Are you?
