Giving Voice to Future Generations in the EU and beyond
English 210
The care for future generations should be a common cause across the globe, but our institutions lack the tools to systematically design future-proof policies. The European Union - and its 27 Member States - is no exception to the trend of neglecting the long-term. In today's decision-making, policymakers are not incentivised to think and act with the long-term in mind, and the rights of future generations are underrepresented. This is bad news for future generations, whose lives depend on careful, well-planned responses to existential risks, ranging from environmental collapse to new pandemics, to unregulated AI.  
This seminar will offer a unique perspective to all those willing to expand their worldview and think about long-term, future-proofing solutions to the many complex issues we face. The goal is to stimulate discussion and generate concrete ideas - through a series of brainstorming, fishbowls and simulations - to integrate the interests of future generations into policymaking processes in both the EU and elsewhere. The end goal is to contribute to the foundations for both a research and advocacy agenda on long-term governance in the European Union and beyond.

Pitch: Europe – Who is the Future?
English 60
In this time of polycrisis, Europe must ask 'Who are we?' and 'Who do we want to be?'. Knowledge and information alone are not enough to improve our actions; we need new practices of collaboration between generations, disciplines, experts and European citizens. Emerging from the “Youth as Key for Democratic Renewal” Lab initiated and funded by ERSTE Foundation, we will hear divergent visions of who will lead tomorrow, assessing how to engage the "Next Generation” in political activity and processes.

Session objective: Imagining new possibilities – Get inspired and foster new ideas by imagining bold solutions to complex challenges and imagine disruptively new ways of thinking.

Climate Activism: Driving Climate Policy
English 150
Over the past years, youth-led climate movements have been particularly powerful and effective in putting the climate crisis on the political agenda. How can the current climate protests shape policy, as activists increasingly demand structural, systemic change? How can politicians and administrators better incorporate the interests of young and future generations into policy?
 
Session objective: Creating a community of action – Connect with like-minded individuals, build interest groups and promote long-term action by planning next steps and follow-ups with other participants. 

INFO: Circular hiking trail Alpbacher Heimatweg. Bring hiking shoes and water. In case of heavy rain, the session is going to take place in the classroom EG1 of the Volksschule Alpbach.
