FPN Faculty Days

Welcome to the Sustainability Days 2026 at the Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience (FPN)! This year, our program brings together a variety of creative, social, and hands-on activities that make sustainability accessible and engaging in everyday life. From tote bag and glass painting to DIY planting, a veggie picnic, outdoor yoga, a social hike, and a flea market, the events focus on upcycling, mindful living, and community building. Rather than only discussing sustainability, these activities invite participants to actively experience it in simple and practical ways.

Sustainability Days at FPN offer a great opportunity to connect with others, try something new, and explore how small actions can contribute to a more sustainable lifestyle. Whether you are looking to get creative, relax, or meet like-minded people, we hope you will join us and be part of this initiative.

Tuesday 28th of April

Tote Bag Painting

Spend time with friends getting creative as you design and paint your own tote bags. All materials are provided, so you can focus on making something that feels like you. Instead of using plastic bags, you’ll leave with a personalized, reusable tote that’s both practical and better for the environment. It’s a relaxed, fun way to hang out, get artistic, and create something you’ll actually use!

Time: 28.04.2026, 10:00-12:00 and 13:00-15:00
Location: If the weather is good, balcony next to the Mensa Café at FPN. In case of bad weather, rooms in UNS40 or EPD.

Social Hiking

Join a group hike where you can meet new people, enjoy nature, and give something back along the way.

After the hike, we’ll wind down at Banditos’ inner city location, where you’ll be treated to a free plant-based snack and drink. It’s a simple, feel-good way to connect, move, and make a small impact.

Time: 29.04.2026, 13:00-15:30

Veggie Picknick

Join us for a relaxed veggie picnic where good food and good company come together. Bring along your favorite snacks, dips, or homemade treats to share, and enjoy a laid-back afternoon with friends and new faces. We’ll kick things off with a short, accessible intro to a plant-based lifestyle, nothing heavy, just some ideas and inspiration to take with you. After that, it’s all about eating, chatting, and enjoying the moment together.

Time: 29.04.2026, 12:00-14:00
Location: Outside UNS40; if the weather is bad inside UNS40 or EPD.
