Enactus Straubing e.V.

With our pioneering spirit, we create entrepreneurial ideas and turn them into successful startups with societal impact. We provide a network and apply the skills acquired from our interdisciplinary studies – driven by innovation, passion, and sustainability. In the process, we grow with the challenges we face, gain experience, and develop as a team and on an individual level.

Our founding history

Enactus Straubing was founded in fall of 2020, so it is a young initiative at the campus with a strong network nationwide as well as globally. With around 40 members from five different study programs, we present a diverse group of engaged students, willing to create sustainable impact through projects.

What is Enactus?

We are a young and engaged team, that develops and realizes projects to fulfil the 17 sustainability goals of the UN. We are proud to represent Straubing as part of the worldwide Enactus network, which includes over 1.500 universities from 37 different countries. Our teams focus on finding solutions to combat malnutrition in Indonesia, food waste in Bavaria, and providing low-cost menstrual products.

What does Enactus do?

We create startups with social and sustainable impact that are still profitable to thrive in the economic environment. You will be able to gain practical experience of organizing a team, tasks and much more without the pressure of failure. You can apply your study content directly, whether you study in business or rather technical programs at Uni because of the diverse fields we address. Enactus World and Enactus Germany regularly hold events (workshops, competitions, accelerators…) you will be able to travel to and see impact on a large scale.

But, without further talking, we want to present you our current projects:

Free Bleeding

Our Enactus project develops a solution to the high costs, availability of period products and the lack of sex education.

We print advertisement on period products to provide free access to self-financing period products.

Free Bleeding works with companies to turn a hygiene product into a promotional tool, creating a win-win situation for both parties, increasing access to free monthly hygiene products and thus reducing period poverty and the risk of infection. By working directly with social and public institutions, we create high visibility in the public eye and at the same time ensure that we create impact by working closely with the menstruating people.

By raising awareness, we create a new, positive perception of menstruation and make Germany a safe space for all menstruating.

CityVital

Our Enactus initiative is about making urban habitats more pleasant and livable. We want to achieve this by installing green sun sails, which on the one hand improve air quality and on the other lowers the temperature of inner cities.

The increasingly frequent record temperatures lead to heat build-up, especially in cities. This lowers the quality of life and brings many problems.

On one hand, our product creates shade and on the other hand, it cools cities by utilizing its greenery. This greening also has a positive effect on insect life in urban areas and at the same time counteracts the grey cityscape.

How can you be part of Enactus?

Twice a year, at the beginning of each semester, we have a recruiting phase to find new members. We would love for you to join us, no matter if you already have an idea or not – we are looking for motivated people who want to make a difference in a fun environment without any pressure for success.
