Students working in groups
A group of people from Jena-Vegan have their own information stand in Paradies Park.
Jena-Vegan is an association of different people who work together to promote a plant-based lifestyle. The group has set itself the goal of raising awareness of the negative consequences of so-called livestock farming, questioning culturally entrenched conditions and communicating the potential of plant-based food for the climate, animal welfare and global justice. Jena-Vegan wants to show that a vegan diet can be enjoyable, healthy and largely free of sacrifice.

Enactus Jena is a non-profit initiative that organizes various social as well as sustainable projects with an entrepreneurial approach. In this way, the students make an important contribution to the implementation of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations.
One of these projects is Bag-Sharing. The aim is to establish a deposit system for cloth bags, initially in Jena and in the future beyond. The multiple use of the bags is intended to save valuable resources and energy.
