With the (Bündnis für Nachhaltigkeit (=Alliance for Sustainability) , the Sustainability Office of the City of Düsseldorf has initiated an offer for full-time employees of non-profit organisations. The Alliance offers an opportunity to exchange ideas with employees from various fields of activity about opportunities for action in the area of sustainability, to inform each other, to develop approaches to action and solutions together and to network. The aim is to work together, learn from each other and motivate each other. The organisations of the Düsseldorf Alliance understand sustainability in all its dimensions (ecological, social and economic) and use the opportunities for joint further development.
Prasanna Oommen has accompanied the alliance since the founding meeting and was also allowed to moderate the 4th meeting on 30 August 2024, this time in the Kaufhaus Wertvoll of the Caritas Association Düsseldorf. After a few words of welcome, input from Ursula Keller and Philomena Lamberty from the Sustainability Office and a tour of the Kaufaus Wertvoll, Prasanna Oommen held a fishbowl discussion with representatives of the hubs founded the previous year and the participants to discuss the status of the hubs, further development strategies and specific next steps. Afterwards, the participants were able to get creative in various upcycling workshops and an ideas workshop. To round things off, two nutritionists prepared the ‘Taste of Summer’ food stations and provided guests with tips on sustainable and healthy cooking.
