The Good Practice collection, with its physical, real-world locations, is the centerpiece of the digital platform. Case studies from the fields of art, culture, and design demonstrate how sustainable transformations are already being put into practice – in North Rhine-Westphalia and beyond. They document concrete approaches, experiences, and insights from stakeholders who are actively initiating change in their respective contexts.
You can search the gallery by topic using filters, view it with the SDG model, or explore it on the map.
