This city tour combines discovery experience, local history, and conscious shopping into a brief, inspiring guided tour of Göttingen's city center. On September 29, 2026, at 5:00 PM, the evening event will lead to shops and points of contact around sustainable consumption and show how fair trade, resource conservation, and social responsibility become visible in everyday life.

A Stroll Through the City Center as a Cultural Enrichment

Göttingen is easily walkable and offers a dense network of old town, shopping streets, and historical sites for urban explorations. The tour ties into this: It connects consumer culture with the character of the city center and makes tangible how sustainable offerings fit into urban life. Thus, a perspective on Göttingen emerges that goes beyond shop windows and links the cultural heritage of the city with current questions of the economy and society.

On the Way with a Focus on Fair Trade and Resources

The focus is on different aspects of more sustainable purchasing decisions. Participants will learn how ecological and social seals provide orientation, why sharing and reusing is gaining importance, and how global supply chains are connected to human and labor rights. The tour thereby creates a vivid access to a topic that often remains abstract in everyday life, but becomes concrete and immediate on the street.

The meeting point is at Bioburg18, Burgstr. 18, Göttingen in the city center. This is where urban movement, short distances, and sustainable shopping places come together.
