We will inform ourselves about the relation between environmental sustainability, social justice and
personal health along a journey through exciting, modern methods of education and
communication. We will understand and use the tool of ecological footprints. We will become
inspired and motivated by impressing films and speeches, and by meaningful conversations. We
will acquire knowledge about different practical technologies for the supply of energy, water and
healthy food, and for the construction of ecologically sound and healthy living spaces. We will
work in the garden and on an ecological construction site. We will meet with a local initiative for
regenerative energy production. We will enjoy improvisational theatre, singing, dancing and games.
