The accompanying activities are highly recommended by the university’s organisers, as holidaymakers will be tempted by the giant board game at the Algida (ice-cream factory) tent, where the whole family will of course be treated to delicious ice creams. Hybridcycle is also running a series of sustainable activities, from making wallets from recycled rubber mats to ceramic painting. The Kupakabana boat will be out and about, waiting for as many caps as we can bring in! The University of Pannonia will entertain guests interested in sustainability with an educational adventure tour and will bring its water purification equipment used in its research, allowing participants to experience a range of interesting things in an interactive way. Kahoot games will wait for the youngest visitors. An eye-catching installation in the university tent will be the result of a successful drawing competition for pre-school and primary school children! Everyone is welcome, let this event be truly sustainable for all!
