Sufficiency and Democracy: New Processes for Inclusive Societal Transformation
150
Amidst the prevalence of greenwashing and lukewarm sustainability strategies, sufficiency concepts could serve as a powerful means to reignite the ambition required for a profound societal transformation towards sustainability. However, public debates on sufficiency often remain limited in scope, primarily focusing on reducing excessive individual consumption of resources and energy. Yet, sufficiency is fundamentally an integral component for an inclusive societal transformation. Embracing the aim of a good life for all, how can we effectively translate the principles of sufficiency into a new social understanding within democratic societies? On this we will reflect during a walk, discussing the development of new understandings and their implications for participation processes, governance structures, and existing institutions.   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: Hike to Gasthof Rossmoos. Bring hiking shoes and water. In case of heavy rain, there is going to be a shuttle to Gasthof Rossmoos.

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.
