Organizations and companies in Dortmund attach great importance to social responsibility. In order to strengthen this network, Fachhochschule Dortmund is hosting the first Conference of Social Responsibility on May 5, 2023 at the FH campus in Dortmund's Kreuzviertel district.
"With this format, we want to support the work of Dortmund's initiatives and aid organizations and offer a platform to exchange ideas with each other and with cooperation partners," says Sebastian Kreimer from Fachhochschule Dortmund's Sustainability Office (CSR Office), explaining the idea. The conference is also aimed at all interested citizens, students and employees. "Our aim is also to address potential volunteers and create low-threshold access to volunteering opportunities," emphasizes Sebastian Kreimer.

The Conference of Social Responsibility starts at 2 p.m. with a round table. The focus will be on the participating (aid) organizations. Among others, representatives of the "Grenzenlose Wärme" association founded at Fachhochschule Dortmund, the homeless newspaper "bodo" and the Nette-PCycle-Pir@ten have confirmed their participation.
