Freiburg, a city renowned for its green credentials and picturesque Black Forest surroundings, is set to welcome a new initiative. The "Committed City" Federal Network will establish a visible presence in the Galeria department store, starting next week.

On Tuesday, September 16, a 2.16-meter-high pillar will be inaugurated in the shop window of the Galeria store on Kaiser-Joseph-Straße. The event will be attended by Ülku Saltık, manager of the Galeria branch, Antje Reinhardt, and Frederike Pähler from the municipal coordination office for civic engagement.

The pillar is part of a broader project aimed at making and promoting civic engagement visible in various sectors, including the social sector, environmental and nature conservation, sports, and exercise. After the Christmas season, the space will be used for other purposes, with the possibility of the pillar returning after the holidays.

For those interested in volunteering, the website www.freiburg.de/engagement provides a wealth of opportunities in Freiburg. Information about these opportunities will be provided by the digital Participation Exchange. A QR code on the pillar also refers to the Freiburg Engagement Guide for comprehensive information on volunteering.

The "Committed City" Federal Network also has its own website, www.engagiertestadt.de, where you can learn more about the project.

Freiburg's commitment to sustainability extends beyond the new volunteer pillar. The city offers numerous tips for a sustainable lifestyle, from recycling and energy-saving measures to enjoying the beautiful viewpoints and nature experiences the Black Forest has to offer.

This initiative demonstrates the collaboration between administration, business, politics, and civil society within the "Committed City" Federal Network. Let's join hands and contribute to the vibrant and green community of Freiburg!
