From 5 to 75: Lifelong Learning in a Circular Economy

For a circular economy to take off, we need to embed circular thinking and skills training within each level of our education system. From elementary school to professional development, and everything in between, this meet-up will share what education professionals are doing now to integrate circular economy in their curriculum. We’ll also discuss what else is needed in Berlin and beyond to strengthen circular economy education.

Networking and community building are cornerstones of Circular Berlin’s meet-ups, and that will remain true as we move to an online format! Following the presentations, we’ll have breakout rooms and facilitated discussion so participants can still get to know one another, exchange ideas, and continue to strengthen this community.

Hosted by Circular Berlin in partnership with TU-Berlin, Zero Waste Your Life, MiFactori, and AMD Berlin).

For everyone’s safety during the coronavirus outbreak, we'll conduct the meeting virtually using Zoom.

We'll send you the Zoom link via E-Mail one hour prior to the event.
