An afternoon outdoors, an evening with pizza, and Erlangen will look better afterward. On Wednesday, October 7, 2026, we’ll clean up downtown Erlangen and then meet at the Stuve-Haus. All FAU students are invited—whether you’re active in student government, interested in sustainability, or just want to meet new people.
We’ll start at 3:00 p.m. at the Stuve-Haus on Turnstraße 7. From there, we’ll set out together and tackle a section of downtown. At the end, you’ll see what you’ve all cleaned up together in three hours, and that feels really good. We’ll provide trash grabbers and bags—all you need is weather-appropriate clothing.
The best part is everything that goes along with it. The student council has just been elected, so the new representatives and new students are already getting to know each other. While picking up trash, it’s easy to strike up a conversation with student council representatives, department offices, and campus groups.
Afterward, we’ll have dinner. Starting at 6:30 p.m., we invite you to the Stuve-Haus for our networking event. We’ll have pizza or grilled food, depending on how many of us there are, along with drinks, and the event will go on as long as people want to stay. You don’t need to bring anything.
Want to learn more? If you’re interested in cycling, the semester pass, recycling, or climate protection at the university, feel free to talk to us that evening. The Office for Sustainability and Mobility welcomes everyone who wants to get involved—no elections and no official positions required.
We look forward to seeing you. No registration is required, nor is any prior knowledge, and you’re welcome to attend just one of the two parts. If you’re staying for dinner, please send us a quick email at stuve-oekologie@fau.de so we can estimate the number of attendees.
We’re collecting as part of the City of Erlangen’s “Clean City, Clean Forest, Clean Waters” campaign, organized in collaboration with FAU’s Green Office. <!– /wp:paragraph —>
