Together for a sustainable future
Our DialogPunkte are places for encounters, exchanges and perhaps even new beginnings. TransRegINT aims to promote dialogue on sustainability issues in the Lower Rhine region, including in social areas. We therefore use the DialogPunkte in cooperation with local authorities as a platform for imparting expertise and networking.
With numerous different events developed in cooperation with local authorities, institutions, associations and educational establishments, we try to reach people and work with them step by step to achieve our vision of a sustainable region worth living in.
We started in June 2024 with the DialogPunkt Kleve. Together with the city of Kleve, a vacant shop in Kleve city centre was filled with life and numerous offers for four consecutive weeks.
Next stop: Xanten
Now it’s off to the district of Wesel. As of February 2025, the DialogPunkt Xanten welcomes interested people on the first Tuesday of every month. A varied programme is planned in the Weberturm, the smallest of the six preserved fortified towers of the Xanten city wall.
That was the DialogPunkt Kleve
The activities at DialogPunkt Kleve focused on the three aspects of ‘Sustainable Community’, ‘Sustainable Nutrition’ and ‘Sustainable Mobility’. A themed week was dedicated to each focus, which offered a variety of events. With workshops, lectures, joint tours and consultation hours, there was something for everyone. The aim was to inform, inspire and encourage action. On Wednesdays to Fridays, the doors were also open for a free exchange of ideas.
If you browse through our news, you will find a follow-up report on each event. You can find our summary of the entire DialoguePoint Kleve here: ‘Between restraint and interest – DialogPunkt Kleve in retrospect’
