Climate strike week with large ZIN participation

From 25 to 29 November 2019, the Public Climate School will also take place at the WWU. In this nationwide climate strike week, the regular events of the university will be replaced or supplemented by workshops, seminars, lectures and discussions on the topic of climate protection. The climate strike week was initiated by the Students for Future in Münster with the support of the AStA of the University of Münster.
