Profit or Purpose? Workshop on Corporate Social Responsibility

The Community Foundation invites you to an interactive workshop on corporate social responsibility

For companies, social and sustainable responsibility has long been more than just a voluntary commitment. New EU directives and legal requirements make it clear: CSR is a central component of sustainable business practices.

But what does this mean in concrete terms for companies in practice?
How can social engagement and economic success be meaningfully combined?
And what requirements will companies actually face?

In this workshop format, we will take a practical look at CSR and sustainable business practices together. In addition to presentations and discussions, the event offers opportunities for exchange and networking.

The event is aimed at entrepreneurs, managing directors, CSR officers, and anyone involved in sustainable business practices.

Further information and registration are available here.

Kickoff of the Volunteer Consultation Hours – with coffee, cookies, and great conversations

The Jena Volunteer Agency invites students and university staff to learn about the many opportunities for volunteer work and to get involved themselves.

On May 20, 2026, we’ll celebrate the official kickoff of our new volunteer consultation hours for students and university staff at the University’s House of Young Scholars. From 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., you’ll find us at Johannisstraße 13—with plenty of information on local volunteer opportunities and time for one-on-one conversations.

Volunteering thrives on encounters, exchange, and the courage to just get started. So: Stop by, discover how much joy volunteering brings to your life, and find your own personal way to get involved in Jena and the surrounding area!
