In the learning workshop of the Leuphana Innovation Community for Sustainable Production, participants used toy cars to explore how to efficiently implement circular economy strategies.

Using a Fischer Technik model car, participants tested their ideas and concluded that their approaches worked very well. Effective teamwork and easy-to-implement methods made this possible. The learning workshop focuses on interactive participation and open discussions about the practical application of circular economy strategies in everyday scenarios.

After each “game round,” participants measured their success using key figures, allowing them to understand which sustainable and economic goals can be achieved by implementing circular economy processes.

The feedback from research staff, students, and external participants was directly incorporated into the planning and design of the next learning workshop to make the content even more practical and comprehensive.
