CSCP Family & Friends Day: Celebrating Our 20th Birthday with Our Families & Friends This year marks a special milestone for us at the CSCP: we have turned 20! In our celebratory booklet, we share highlights of this journey and tell our story through the voices of current and former team members as well as our valuable partners, who have walked with us during all these years. We do this work with great passion and commitment, and our Family & Friends Day was a great opportunity to introduce our friends and families to what we do in practice. “So many of us are intrinsically motivated by the topics and ideas we work on, but don’t always have the chance to really share what we do with the people outside of our work context. The CSCP Family Day was our playground to explore together with our loved ones what we do as part of our work.”, says Nils Kreft, who works as Communication Coordinator at the CSCP. The organising team brought together an impressive programme with the most exciting, engaging, and fun activities and projects that we have done and are doing at the CSCP and the co-do lab. “It was so nice seeing our beautiful offices in the former Huppertsberg factory in Wuppertal buzz with so many people. Especially seeing the children, was a powerful reminder who we do this work for and why.”, shares Dr. Flandra Syla-Beqiri, who works as Senior Communication Manager at the CSCP. Different stations covered different topics of our work: from food (waste) and circular economy to digitalisation and sustainable lifestyles, there was something for everyone. “In one of our offices, adults could take the Lifestyle Test; outside, children could draw the future; and everyone could experience our live infographics, engage on circular economy through swapping items, or get a taste of the future in the era of AI.”, says Livia El-Khawad, CSCP Project Manager. Our Family & Friends Day allowed us to grow together as a team even more as we had the opportunity to meet the important people in our colleagues’ lives, talk to them, and do what people do on birthdays: enjoy the atmosphere with good food, music, and sunshine.
