REIMAGINE TRANSFORMATION – THE TEUFELSBERG CAMPUS

Creative Transformation for a Better Planet hosted by Teufelsberg Campus Berlin in collaboration with United Nations Academic Impact (UNAI) SDG 11 Chair Hub , TU Berlin and URBAN UTOPIA.

Teufelsberg is one of the most iconic historical sites in Europe – a Cold War listening station built atop the ruins of World War II Berlin. Based on the intense history of the mountain we are developing a new Campus, a resonance chamber, for Transformation and Sustainability, Innovation, Climate, Science and Democracy – evolving into a hub for innovation, dialogue and co-creation around the future of our planet. Join the movement.

This event will bring together voices from academia, civil society, and creative communities to begin shaping the campus collectively. It will be the first of many conversations in which we invite partners, students, researchers, activists and artists to co-design and co-own this vision.We will introduce the new Teufelsberg Campus followed by a moderated conversation to share insights, inform and inspire about the Teufelsberg Transformation and engage partners to develop and create their ideas for the Teufelsberg Campus.

Our friends from URBAN UTOPIA will share a Closing Impulse along with their vision for a possible imagination of Teufelsberg Campus.
