Celebrate Earth in Borken: Future Festival for the Earth Day on the market square!

The city of Borken heralds the Earth Day this year with a very special event. On May 3, 2025, a future -proof will take place on the market square, which has many creative and informative offers between 11 a.m. and 2.30 p.m. The motto for 2025 is "Our Power. Our planet". Since 2023, the city has been actively involved in this international action day, which has been celebrated worldwide since 1970 and is intended to raise awareness of environmental protection and sustainable ways of life.

The future -proof is organized in cooperation with the Forum Altes Rathaus Borken (color). Visitors can look forward to a variety of information stands, creative hands -on activities and cultural performances. The highlight of the festival is the presentation of creative student contributions that are created as part of the “strong without violence” price of the Westmünsterland community foundation. In addition, the Julia-Koppers comprehensive school will present a stand on the topic of upcycling to promote sustainable approaches.

interactive actions and entertainment

The commitment of the municipal specialist department for climate protection and sustainability becomes visible in the form of interactive wheel frames, which enable those involved to generate electricity themselves. The artistic performance of the members of the Münster City Empire, who entertain the audience with mobile performances, is also particularly exciting

Another important program item is the Repair Café, organized by the German Red Cross in the Borken district. This concept is part of a global movement that was launched in Amsterdam by Martine Postman in 2009. Repair cafés enable visitors to repair defective devices such as hair dryers, computers or coffee machines themselves, often under the guidance of volunteers. These cafes not only promote sustainability, but also the exchange and learning among the participants. According to the information from ichmachs. now, such institutions repair such institutions worldwide an estimated 50,000 objects per month and offer people the opportunity to acquire practical repair knowledge.

evening event and tickets

A special highlight is planned for the evening of the Future Festival in the Mölndal Hall of the Stadthalle in the Vennhof. The cabaret artist Patrick Nederkoorn will entertain the visitors with his program. Tickets for this event are already available at a price of 20 euros, reduced 18 euros, online and in the tourist information.

The future -proof is not only a celebration of the Earth Day, but also a platform for dialogue and exchange of knowledge about sustainable initiatives in Borken. It offers citizens the opportunity to actively participate in the design of their environment and to develop creative ideas that are in the interests of the environment and the community. The urban youth promotion will also address children's rights and offer creative handicrafts that are intended for both children and adults. Sustainable ideas are encouraged at these stations, and various local initiatives such as the Borkener Tafel and "Parents for Future Borken" are pointed out.

Overall, the future -proof on May 3 will be a real starting point for everyone who is interested in environmental protection and sustainable commitment. The city of Borken cordially invites all citizens to take part and to work for a better future.
