Sustainable Advent Saturday

Sustainable Advent Saturday

As part of the CYCLE UP! project and in cooperation with the library of the Goethe-Institut, we invite you to a day full of pre-Christmas activities at the Goethe-Institut on Saturday, 29 November. We have prepared creative workshops, Christmas music, events for children, a reading of Christmas stories and games for young and old. During the event, we will be focusing on the reuse of recyclable materials and upcycling.
