REcentre launches the new Sustainability at School projects. We invited students from Euregional design schools (Gut Rosenberg Aachen, St. Luc Liège, MAD faculty) and experienced designers to tackle two business cases.

The first one is Les Ardentes. This music festival takes place in summer in Liège and receives 70.000 visitors. The participants will be challenged to find new and sustainable solutions for the transport, merchandising, catering,... of the festival.

The second case is Dingens Barometers. This Beverlo (BE) based company was forced to find other solutions for the production of their barometers after mercury was banned. Dingens will challenge the participants to develop concepts for the sustainable implementation of barometers in contemporary interiors.
