Hot topics

Our panel aims to explore the dynamic interplay between young individuals and the ever-evolving realm of sustainability. While we have some key themes in mind, we are not confined to them alone. We will delve into questions such as:

  • GREEN GENERATIONS – How can we engage effectively with the younger generation? Are our endeavors truly up to the task? Could it be that we have as much to learn from them as they do from us?
  • GREEN CRITICAL THINKING – It’s clear that some sustainability efforts have reached their peak (like recycling) – what new messages can we convey to the younger generation? How can we nurture critical thinking of youth, especially when it comes to issues of sustainability?
  • GREEN PROFESSIONS – In your opinion – In your opinion, which professions will have a pronounced focus on sustainability in the future? How can young people choose a career for the future?
