Passugg - The Week Part 1
12:00 - 13:30

3 days together to make sense of the defining crisis of our time.

Too often, the environmental crisis feels abstract and overwhelming. The Week is a way to engage this issue, for real, with our friends, family or colleagues. It doesn’t tell us what to do, but empowers us to make up our own minds. 

The Week is shaped like a “U”. Episode 1 is the hard one where we go down the “U” and look straight at what’s coming, without blinking. In episode 2, we make sense of it all. And episode 3 gets us up the “U”, it’s empowering and inspiring.

Register here is you are interested in participating in all the 3 sessions taking place between 12 pm to 1:30 pm on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. 

Lausanne - Plogging
12:15 - 13:15

Plogging is a combination of jogging (or walking) and picking up litter. Plogging not only helps reduce pollution but also promotes community engagement and environmental awareness.

We will be running through the Parc Naturel du Jorat for an easy run! A good training for the 20km Lausanne Race!

You can register through the EHL Sports App.
