3rd day of action of the energy saving campaign "We act together".

On Jan. 24, 2023, the third and final day of action of the energy-saving campaign "We act together" will take place at the Campus Center from 4 to about 8 p.m..

This time, the focus is on social sustainability. This is because results from the latest wave of the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) show that all households are negatively affected by energy price increases. For this reason, we are offering a wide range of information and advice for students and employees on this day from 4 to 6 pm.

From 6 p.m. on, we want to check the facts of the University of Kassel together, according to the motto: "My university is doing something!", exchange ideas and discuss, for example, the plans of the new Kassel Institute for Sustainability with Prof. Dr. Andreas Christian Braun, and collect suggestions on what each individual can do and what we can do together.

Event program

From 4 to 6 p.m., the following information booths are planned:
- Studierendenwerk with social and student finance counseling as well as the Psychological Counseling Center
- Green Office
- SoLocalEnergy
- Allgemeiner Studierendenausschuss (AStA)
- ScientistsForFuture (S4F)
- Intracting (Department of Construction, Technology and Real Estate)
- Mieterbund Nordhessen e.V.


From 6 p.m. on, the lectures will begin:
Moderation: Vice President, Prof. Sonja Buckel

1st Key Note Speaker: Prof. Dr. Andreas Christian Braun (Kassel Institute for Sustainability):
"Sustainability Studies - Sustainable Studies - or how sustainable is a sustainability study?"
Through the Kassel Institute, the SDG+ Lab and the Green Office, the University of Kassel invests a lot to create solutions for a more sustainable everyday and economic life. But how sustainable are actually universities and studying itself? Where are how many emissions generated? How large is the ecological footprint of studies? And above all: How can universities and studies be made more sustainable - even beyond the current energy crisis? The article provides some impulses for reflection, joint reflection and the search for solutions.

2. SoLocal Energy: Tim Füller & Angelica Gamarra: "Aggravated Poverty Risks for Students: Problems and challenges posed by high energy prices"

3. Scientists for Future: Svenja Quietsch: "Hope in times of climate crisis: from knowledge to action"
