Kick-off on 23 July 2025

To kick off the Sustainable Project Checks 2025, the representatives of this year's funded projects met with the University of Jena's Green Office, which provides organisational support for this framework of sustainable student projects. The aim of the meeting was to start the project phase together and promote dialogue on topics such as project goals, initial implementation steps and possible challenges. The participants not only gained an insight into the support services offered by the Green Office, but also got to know the other funded projects. This networking creates new opportunities for mutual support in the further course of the project and thus contributes to the successful implementation of the funded projects.

These projects will be supported in 2025 as part of the sustainable project checks:

  • Library of things

     de

    Many everyday or study devices are rarely used, but are expensive to buy. The "Library of Things" creates a sustainable alternative: items can be borrowed from a central location in a resource-saving, inexpensive and simple way.

  • Bicycle repair workshops

     de

    In bicycle repair workshops, students learn how to maintain and repair their bicycles independently. The aim is to promote sustainable mobility and strengthen the self-employed basis in dealing with their own bikes.

  • Bicycle self-help workshop

     de

    The facility|institution|(structural) unit, which is open several days a week, provides a place where students can repair their bikes under supervision. At the same time, students will have the opportunity to repair orphaned bikes and make them usable again.

  • Green spaces on Helmholtzweg

     de

    Grassy areas around Helmholtzweg are to be enhanced with fruit bushes, herbs and insect-friendly flowers. The project invites students to become active gardeners and make a long-term commitment to green campus design.

  • Open student theatre project on Faust II

     de

    An open theatre project brings Goethe's Faust II to the stage in a new way - with a focus on social justice. Students and interested parties design the play together, creating an inclusive space for creative development, exchange and co-determination. The focus is on sustainable costumes and stage design.
