Klimaschau
Utopias for
the present
Flattening two curves: university in times of climate crisis and corona pandemic.
The climate show presented the results of the Climate Semester - Utopias for the Present - in a digital exhibition and as an online event on Juli 17th 2020.
At the FH Potsdam, in the summer semester 2020, the climate semester, the challenges of the climate crisis were jointly examined and transdisciplinary approaches and sustainable options for action for the here and now were developed.
On July 17, 2020, the results of the climate semester in the summer semester 2020 at the Potsdam University of Applied Sciences were presented live on Zoom.
