Drinking Tap Water - A Clear Matter?! in Bochum: Free Evening at the Volkshochschule

An evening about tap water, climate, and good questions from everyday life

On Tuesday, June 9, 2026, the Volkshochschule Bochum invites you to a free information evening that sheds light on an everyday topic with surprisingly great impact: tap water. In cooperation with the Consumer Advice Center NRW, the focus will be on quality, environmental and climate protection, a comparison of mineral water, and the question of why reaching for the tap can also be a statement.

Knowledge that comes directly from everyday life

The event emphasizes understandable context rather than dry theory. After an informative lecture, there will be time for discussion, exchange, and concrete questions about Bochum's drinking water, ingredients, and packaging. Those who want to know how tap water measures up against mineral water will receive well-founded answers from an expert perspective.

Practical, vivid, and tasteful

The evening becomes particularly lively with the shared practical part: fresh infused water to taste is created from natural ingredients such as fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Thus, the event experience combines knowledge transfer with direct experience and makes sustainability tangible.

A strong format for those who want to consume more consciously

The event is aimed at people interested in environmental issues, consumer protection, and sustainable everyday decisions. The combination of lecture, discussion, and participatory elements creates an open audience atmosphere and a clear target group approach: informative, approachable, and relevant.

Conclusion: A small event with a big everyday impact

If you want to look at your own water consumption, packaging waste, and climate protection more consciously, you will find here a compact, free evening with real added value. The event offers orientation, opportunities for conversation, and practical suggestions for everyday life. It’s best experienced live, and bring your own questions directly.
