Join in: Share your ideas for a modern Görlitz!

Are you between 13 and 27 years old? Then take this chance to help shape your city and your campus!

On Monday, June 10, 2024, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., you can participate in the creative workshop “An Early Shift for My Görlitz: Shaping Saxony as a Hub for Science” to share your ideas and visions for the future of Görlitz as a center of science. Together, we’ll shape the transformation in the areas of studying, living, working, and leisure.

“How should the living environment, the university, recreational opportunities, and urban society be designed to encourage you to study in Görlitz? What would need to change for you to see your future in Görlitz?” These and other questions are at the heart of the event.

After engaging workshops with researchers and future-oriented innovators from business, culture, and communication, you’ll present your ideas in a pitch to a high-profile jury, including Minister President Michael Kretschmer and Minister of Science Sebastian Gemkow.

Theme Table: “Future Campus: Studying Better Together—Digital, Practical, and Sustainable”

Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences will be participating with a thematic table led by Vice President for Education and International Affairs, Prof. Dr. Sophia Keil. This table is supported by Prof. Dr. Falk Maiwald and Sebastian Benad (M.A.) from the Faculty of Managerial and Cultural Studies, as well as Christian Tiller and Robert Viertel (M.A.) from the strategic university initiative “Zukunftslernort Oberlausitz” (ZukLOS).
