Main activities Programme + Programme translation:
In methodischer Vielfalt wird vermittelt, dass weniger Konsum/Wachstum nicht Verzicht, sondern Bereicherung – im Immateriellen – sein kann und dass das nicht nur eine Überlegung im Kopf ist, sondern auch eine des Bauchgefühls und der Herzensbildung. Den TeilnehmerInnen wird Wissen zum Themenkomplex Nachhaltigkeit vermittelt, das gemeinsam mit Motivation die Basis für mögliche Lebensstil-Änderungen bilden kann. Sie werden mit verschiedenen Methoden aktiv in den Lernprozess einbezogen und mit ihnen gemeinsam werden individuelle Ideen entwickelt, wie sie selbst aktiv werden können, um ihren Lebensstil nachhaltiger zu gestalten bzw. Änderungen der gesellschaftlichen durch aktives bürgerschaftliches Engagement. Die Workshopinhalte umfassen: Bewertung der Nachhaltigkeit unseres Konsums nach der Methode cleanEuro (www.cleaneuro.at), Alternativen zum Konsum, Ökologischer Fußabdruck, Mobilität, persönliches Glück, Vision vom guten Leben. Viele Gelegenheiten zur Reflexion des Gehörten und persönliche Begegnungen mit Menschen, die sich in vielerlei Hinsicht um einen nachhaltigen Lebensstil bemühen, runden das Programm ab, und sollen unterstützen vom Wissen zum Handeln zu kommen.
In methodical diversity we will show, that less consumption/growth isn’t a disclaimer, but is enrichment - in immaterial contexts. It is not only a brain decision, but as well a gut decision and nobleness of heart. Participant will be taught some knowledge in the field of sustainability, which together with motivation can build the bases of lifestyle changes. They will be involved actively into the learning process by different methods and will develop concepts together, how to become active to shape a more sustainable lifestyle for themselves respectively trigger changes of social relations by European active citizenship. The subjects of the workshop include: Evaluation of the sustainability of our consumption according to the method cleanEuro (www.cleaneuro.eu), alternatives to consumption, ecological footprint, mobility, personal happiness, visions of a good life. Many opportunities for reflection of the heard are given as well as personal meetings with people, who already live sustainable, support the shortcut from knowledge to action.
