A picnic that makes Braunschweig rethink urban heat
On September 16, 2026, Klima.Zukunftslabor OpenCultures invites you to the quiz picnic in the Schilfgarten at the North Campus of TU Braunschweig. Between 5:30 PM and 7:00 PM, the focus will not only be on communal eating but also on the question of how nature-based open space design and cooling elements on sealed areas can significantly improve quality of stay. The event is open to all interested parties and is free of charge.

A real laboratory in the midst of campus life
The Schilfgarten at Bienroder Weg 80-85 is not a traditional event location but a prototype for climate-sensitive urban design. OpenCultures describes the place as a transformation space that makes the effects of evaporation, shading, and green structures in everyday life tangible. This is precisely why the format fits so well with the Climate Adaptation Week: It connects research, practice, and direct usage experience in a place where heat stress and quality of stay are immediately addressed.

Knowledge to think along with, atmosphere to take away
With snacks and cool drinks, the program, according to the event description, leads into a quiz about heat, urban open spaces, and climate adaptation. Researchers from the project will introduce the garden and show how innovative open space concepts in cities can respond to rising temperatures. The result is an event experience with scientific ambition, an informal conversation atmosphere, and a clear target audience for professionals, students, and anyone interested in sustainable urban development.
