Courage for food rescue: Courage day in Meißen enthusiastic!

This day, June 26, 2025, numerous interested parties gathered at the Free Work School in Meißen to take part in this year's Courage Day. This event organized by the Klimaschul-AG follows the climate cult day of the previous year and is dedicated to a highly up-to-date topic: food waste. With a total of 20 workshops, the participants are offered a wide range of activities that aim to sharpen the awareness of sustainable use of food and to provide valuable information. As reports saechsische.de, but also theory is on the scene, but also practical approaches of waste.

One of the highlights is a demonstration that focuses on recognizing grabs, despite the past, best -preserving date (MHD). The eleven -year -old student Ronja tried a tomato sauce that had already expired in 2021. This action underlines the fact that the MHD is often misleading. On many packaging, the MHD is given as "at least durable to (end)" and only refers to the quality of a food, but not to its actual durability. As explains [wiki.foodsharing.de] (https://wiki.foodsharing.de/ minimum date of date_und_ consumption date), there is no guarantee that a product will retain its best properties up to this date, and a shorter MHD can often even lead to increased sales.

innovative projects against food waste

Another impressive project presented as part of the Courage Day is the "bicycle fair divider" concept from Leipzig. This is an initiative that enables free of charge and take food via bicycles with special boxes. This creative idea could also be considered in Meißen to further reduce local food waste. This shows that creative solutions are required to promote the conscious handling of our resources.

In addition, board games for blind and visually impaired people were also tested on the Courage Day. The blind version of "Mensch not annoying yourself" is an example of the inclusive approach of the event. The games are specially designed in such a way that they are equipped with tangible characters and a game board with recesses, which conjured up a broad smile in the face to the participants.

variety and encounter in the studio of women's variety of women

Another important part of the program was the status of the studio of women, where women from Libya, Afghanistan, Iran and Turkey could present their cultures and ways of life. The lively library offered visitors the opportunity to try regional pastries and learn Arabic. This intercultural exchange is not only colorful enrichment for community life in Meißen, but also offers opportunities for encounter and mutual understanding.

Overall, the Courage Day is not only about the exchange of information, but also about practical approaches to raise awareness of important topics such as food waste and cultural diversity. The works school thus impressively shows how complexity can be conveyed in a lively framework and what role education plays in sustainable development.
