Forest beauty vs. forest damage

City of Zittau and Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences organize photo competition for Environment Day 2019

The Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences has been successfully organizing an "Environment Day" since 2000, with a different theme each year. Since 2010, this has been organized and carried out in close cooperation with the city of Zittau. Our aim is to bring together Zittau and Görlitz as well as the region, its people and economy in order to draw attention to joint sustainable development in various areas and to enter into an exchange. This year, the "Day of the Environment" will take place in Zittau on November 13 (Görlitz on November 14). The theme will be the forest in climate change under the motto "WaldMeister". We are calling for a themed photo competition to mark the day.
