Sustainability Center in Bochum: Free Future Space at Kortumstraße

Experience Sustainability: The Sustainability Center brings Bochum into the conversation

With the Sustainability Center, an open meeting place is being created in Bochum for everyone who wants to not only discuss but shape the future. In a retail space at Kortumstraße 93, Bochum Marketing invites to workshops, exhibitions, lectures, and participatory formats. Participation is free; the center is accessible from June 16 until the end of August, Tuesday to Friday from 12 PM to 4 PM, as well as during additional action times in the evening and on weekends.

A Place for Ideas, Exchange, and Participation

The Sustainability Center is designed as a lively space for the Bochum community. In the foyer, discussions take place, a large chalkboard collects questions about sustainability, and in the exchange shelf, books or well-preserved toys get a second life. For those who prefer to listen or dive deeper, lectures and discussion formats can be found in the 'Listen' area. In the 'Look Closely' area, exhibitions are the focus.

Workshops, Repair Cafés, and Creative Impulses

There's particularly a lot of activity in the 'Do Something' area: workbenches, materials, and space for workshops, upcycling offers, repair cafés, and other practical formats make the event experience tangible. This is where the blend of event management, target audience engagement, and lived sustainability that Bochum Marketing connects with this project become evident. Start-ups, university projects, and environmental initiatives also get a platform.

Accessible and Open to Many Perspectives

The Sustainability Center emphasizes participation not only in content but also in space. According to reports in the Bochum city magazine, an installed ramp ensures barrier-free access; the construction of the store was implemented modularly, reusable, and resource-saving. This aligns with the project's stance: sustainability and accessibility are thought about together here.
