Background:

The participatory initiative SUSTAIN IT! develops projects to make Freie Universität Berlin sustainable and future-proof, and it provides a platform for networking on topics related to a social-ecological transformation. Every year, the group organizes the Sustainability Days at the university with many different events and activities around the topics of sustainable development - from food sharing events, participatory exhibitions, action cooking, fishbowl discussions, upcycling and creative workshops, clothing swaps, and bicycle repair cafés to science slams, lectures, and panel discussions.
