Reimagining Libraries: Innovation, Dialogue, Sustainability

Ten Goethe-Institutes across Europe invite libraries to participate in a regional project focused on sustainable and green libraries. We are looking for ten committed libraries in ten countries that, together with experts, journalists, and activists in the fields of environment and sustainability, want to develop and implement innovative new formats for their libraries during a one-week residency. Become part of a network of dedicated actors – and turn your library into a vibrant place of sustainability, dialogue, and transformation!
