What can you expect?
Café Futur is a series of events that present and discuss current information on sustainability and climate topics. Here, you have the unique opportunity to talk about these important issues in a relaxed atmosphere with experts and other interested individuals, gain new perspectives, and make connections. The goal is to inform, raise awareness, inspire, and hopefully create a better future together in a personal yet collective way. Diversity and education are particularly important to us - the more diverse the group of participants, the more exciting the conversations and the more open the newly acquired perspectives. Café Futur looks forward to your participation!
Where does it come from?
The idea for Café Futur arose from a collaboration between representatives of Klimagrosseltern Stadt Bern and the Wyss Academy for Nature, who aim to promote intergenerational exchange and commitment to sustainability and climate protection.
How does it work?
Café Futur starts with a one-year pilot phase consisting of six events. The premiere took place as part of the Bern Sustainability Days on September 21, 2023. Currently, Café Futur is held approximately every 2-3 months, generally on the last Thursday of the month from 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM at Kochergasse 4 (ground floor) in Bern. For exact dates, see the flyer. Participation in the events is free.
Join Café Futur and get inspired by current topics around sustainability and climate protection. Together, we can make a positive contribution to our future - including broadening our personal and thematic horizons. We look forward to seeing you!
