On Sunday, 22nd September, Gleisdorf’s forumKLOSTER and its park were transformed into a lively hub of knowledge, fun, and inspiration during the Environmental Festival. Organised in collaboration with Gleisdorf City Marketing, the City of Gleisdorf, and the Energieregion Weiz-Gleisdorf, the event welcomed visitors of all ages with a diverse programme focusing on energy, mobility, climate, and sustainable consumption.

Families, individuals, and experts gathered for an engaging day filled with interactive workshops, insightful lectures, and hands-on activities. The festival aimed to spark interest in climate protection and sustainability while offering an enjoyable and educational experience. Visitors explored various stalls showcasing regional products and services, with businesses and initiatives presenting innovative solutions in the fields of energy, mobility, and environmental protection. Neutral energy advisors were also available for consultations on eco-friendly heating systems, energy-saving techniques, and photovoltaic technology.

A key highlight of the festival was the presence of the JETforCE Project, presented by the Innovation Centre W.E.I.Z. and its project team. At their stall, attendees were introduced to two exciting transnational pilot initiatives: the Challenge Mapping Tool and the upcoming Technology Evaluation Tool, both designed to foster cross-border collaboration and support the implementation of sustainable technologies.

The Environmental Festival successfully brought together a community committed to climate action and sustainable living. The combination of expert knowledge, interactive experiences, and entertainment created an inspiring atmosphere, leaving a lasting impression on all who attended. The event was a reminder of the importance of taking proactive steps to protect the environment and demonstrated how communities can unite to make a meaningful impact.
