Kreis statt Krise

The interactive exhibition demonstrates how the Cradle to Cradle (C2C) circular principle provides concrete solutions to key challenges of our time: climate change, resource scarcity, biodiversity loss, and social inequality.

Instead of managing crises, it presents a positive vision of the future in which people act as beneficial contributors—climate-positive, healthy, and fair.

A multi-month pop-up exhibition is planned as part of WDC 2026, made visible and tangible through public outreach, accompanying events, and volunteer engagement. The aim is to empower visitors to actively participate in shaping a sustainable society. Using real-world examples, the exhibition makes C2C design principles tangible and opens up new spaces for discussion around sustainable product design and regenerative economies.

The exhibition is bilingual (DE/EN) and aimed at a wide audience, particularly children and young people. The volunteer C2C team from the Rhine-Main region will oversee the exhibition and offer free guided tours on weekends.
