- SELF LEADERSHIP BACKBONE AT CDTM WITH bridgingpositionsAt the center, we are surrounded by motivated and curious people who usually have too many things at once on their plate and only realize they shouldn´t have taken on the next side project when it is too late.

We started to plan a running race through Englischer Garten and when searching for co-organiz15 Jan 2021•3 min read
- Entrepreneurship to counteract waste through to-go food for sustainable developmentDue to the pandemic, restaurants are forced to shut down their service. Many of them now sell their dishes as take-away or provide the possibility of delivery to keep up their sales. However, this means that the food and drinks need to be packaged. The to-go packaging waste amounts to around 356 thousand tons in Germany yearly. Each German citizen produces more than 200 kg of packaging waste per year. Every hour around 140.000 to-go cups are used in Germany. To-go cups alone make up around 5511 Jan 2021•4 min read
