Chemnitz as a Fairtrade Town - What does that mean?
Location: TIETZ, course room 4.07
Admission: free of charge
When you think of "fair trade", you no longer just have to think of coffee. There is now a wide range of fairly traded products, not only in specialised shops but also in supermarkets. In order to strengthen fair trade structures for products from poorer regions of the world, a broad base and support is also needed at city level. So-called "Fairtrade Towns" aim to promote fair trade locally.
Like over 540 other cities across Germany, Chemnitz wants to be one of them and therefore launched a campaign in 2016. What does the campaign mean for Chemnitz? What does it mean for our city if it becomes a Fairtrade Town? What does it take and how much progress has the campaign made? You will receive answers to these and many other questions on the topic of "Fairtrade Town" on this evening.
Monday, 17 June, 6.45 to 8.15 p.m.
Islam - Introduction to religion and faith
Location: TIETZ, VHS room advert
Admission: 6.40 euros
The lecture gives an insight into the world religion Islam and shows its many facets. It provides information about the religious foundations and introduces the various faiths.

Volunteering - is it for me?
Location: TIETZ, course room 4.07
Admission: free of charge
A new start instead of retirement, new impetus in your studies, work, career or unemployment, compensation or supplementation - there are many different reasons for volunteering. In this event, we would like to show you the paths that can lead to a personal decision in favour of volunteering. You can bring along your questions and clarify them: "What is important?" "What should I look out for?" "How do I find the right thing for me?" You will also receive information on expense allowances, insurance, volunteering agreements, etc.
In addition, specific examples of fields of activity in practical areas are presented, such as
- Work in nature conservation
- Craft activities in the museum
- Handicrafts, arts and crafts, cooking with children or senior citizens
This event is a cooperation between the Volunteer Centre of the Caritas Association for Chemnitz and the surrounding area and the Chemnitz Adult Education Centre.
