The event planning emphasizes closeness, exchange, and practical ideas, covering topics from upcycling to repair cafés to issues surrounding mobility, energy, and social justice. The barrier-free side entrance further facilitates access. ([bochum-tourismus.de](https://www.bochum-tourismus.de/was-ist-los/nachhaltigkeitsjahr.html))
