00:00:05,525 --> 00:00:08,543
Lana: Welcome to Under 30 the podcast of the Youth Partnership.

2
00:00:08,683 --> 00:00:13,826
Today we are speaking about sustainability within the context of learning mobility.

3
00:00:14,606 --> 00:00:21,599
And today with us, we have Manfred and Georgia who have been working
on this topic for several years now, within different context.

4
00:00:22,259 --> 00:00:36,075
And as all of us in the youth sector have been concerned about the questions of sustainability but also very passionate
about learning mobility activities and all the value in education  that that brings to young people across Europe.

5
00:00:36,895 --> 00:00:47,703
So I will start first by inviting both Georgia and Manfred to introduce themselves and say a little
bit about what you do and how you're connected with the work on sustainability and learning mobility.

6
00:00:49,294 --> 00:00:53,144
Manfred: Thank you very much Lana  and thank you  for having me in, in this round.

7
00:00:53,214 --> 00:00:54,690
I'm  Manfred Von Hebel.

8
00:00:54,710 --> 00:01:02,190
I'm working for the German National Agency for European Youth
Programs, Erasmus Plus Youth and European Solidarity Corps.

9
00:01:02,730 --> 00:01:31,435
And of course climate change, environmental protection have been a big issue in the program in many,
many projects all throughout the recent years, and it has even increased now  with the importance of
the issue in society and globally of course, but also  now because with the new program generation
since 2021, we also have climate change, environmental protection, sustainability as a program priority.

10
00:01:31,455 --> 00:01:34,395
And this is really also something very feasible in the program.

11
00:01:34,455 --> 00:01:58,907
It has increased still the interest and the implementation and the application of projects with this
issue . And one last thing maybe, together with EPLM  and many, many very committed stakeholders we were
carrying out a conference at the beginning of this year in Bavaria on this issue where we also saw how  big
the community is of  people who are committed in this field and have enormous expertise and experience.

12
00:01:58,967 --> 00:02:07,662
So that was  a great thing to see how we can bring  learning mobility, as you
said, also together with aspects of climate change and environmental protection.

13
00:02:09,224 --> 00:02:09,694
Giorgia: Thank you.

14
00:02:09,704 --> 00:02:10,574
Thank you, Lana.

15
00:02:10,684 --> 00:02:12,274
Yes my name is Georgia Verna.

16
00:02:12,474 --> 00:02:39,234
I am a young journalist from Italy and I'm part of the European Pool of Young Journalists, and so I came across
to the EPLM conference this year,  basically because I was one of the journalists who had to cover this event, not
only with videos and also photos, but also with articles and interviews, and it was very challenging to talk with
a lot of people and know a lot about not only learning mobility, but also how it is connected to sustainability.

17
00:02:39,734 --> 00:02:47,674
And this is why I was so happy to not only meet all these people, but also
have the possibility and the chance to write about it and know more about it.

18
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:57,163
Lana: Manfred already mentioned the EPLM Conference, which was held in  in
February and March in Munich and it was hosted by the German National Agency.

19
00:02:57,663 --> 00:03:04,988
And this is where really this questions of sustainability, climate change and learning mobility came together.

20
00:03:05,448 --> 00:03:14,338
We know that at the institutional level, at the policy level this has become a priority
for the EU, for the Council of Europe, now also following the Reykjavik Declaration.

21
00:03:14,918 --> 00:03:29,013
And also learning mobility has  been given a boost after the Covid pandemic,
particularly trying to see how do we restart the learning mobility and how do we make
sure that more young people have opportunities to participate in these activities.

22
00:03:29,353 --> 00:03:32,813
But sometimes we have this question, what is the connection between the two?

23
00:03:33,153 --> 00:03:47,172
Because learning mobility in itself involves a lot of travel, and it is sometimes an activity that may be
seen as contradictory to sustainability and to sustainable approaches to education and training and traveling.

24
00:03:47,712 --> 00:03:53,484
So, after the conference, but also  from your work on this question, what would you say is the link between the two?

25
00:03:53,984 --> 00:03:58,254
And how can we also overcome this apparent dilemma   between the two concepts?

26
00:03:59,653 --> 00:04:07,973
Manfred: It's indeed the dilemma , as you said, and  you put that very nicely
already that you said how, how can we connect it and not make it a contradiction?

27
00:04:08,053 --> 00:04:09,933
I think  that is really the, the big challenge.

28
00:04:09,993 --> 00:04:19,073
So we have, on one hand the, the urge and also I would say the need for learning mobility  in a cross-border way.

29
00:04:19,813 --> 00:04:21,783
We see that very clearly now.

30
00:04:21,853 --> 00:04:28,783
We were of course worried we had a strong impact of the pandemic  on mobility within the youth programs.

31
00:04:28,803 --> 00:04:42,828
We had really low application numbers, but now  this year we really see that the wheel is turning
again, and that the request is really raising enormously that we really have a lot of applications.

32
00:04:42,928 --> 00:04:49,238
And as I said, within this applications, we also have a lot of projects that deal with exactly this question.

33
00:04:49,578 --> 00:04:53,308
How can we make learning mobility more sustainable?

34
00:04:53,368 --> 00:04:55,298
What do we have to keep in mind?

35
00:04:55,948 --> 00:05:26,824
I think   for   learning mobility programs, if we want to make a distinction to other for forms of mobility or tourism
we at least have a chance to set a project that make  sustain mobility,  to be in the terms of the conference also,
an issue  of the project so that, that we can use the learning within one mobility project also to raise awareness to
change the project as such, to think about the location that you choose, the means of transportation that you choose.

36
00:05:27,034 --> 00:05:28,544
Maybe also the way of catering.

37
00:05:28,884 --> 00:05:45,634
So there's a lot of things that  you can tackle through your mobility, so that learning really
takes place and maybe changes also the  awareness of young people and also the consciousness
for their own mobility, not only within the project, but also maybe beyond the project.

38
00:05:47,514 --> 00:06:13,349
Giorgia: I completely agree with Manfred, and I think one of the main most important thing to keep in
mind is exactly the fact that sustainability as a definition we always try to put it in the framework
of eco bio sustainability, but as we have learned from the conference, me especially, I have learned
that there are more and more examples of sustainability, the social one, and also the economical one,

39
00:06:13,349 --> 00:06:32,230
as was explaining also Manfred, that we have learned it also through the pandemic . And I think, in my
experience of learning mobility, I've made some Erasmus projects and I've made also a double degree abroad
in Brussels . And one thing that it's very uncommon to think about is exactly the social sustainability.

40
00:06:32,290 --> 00:06:43,910
To keep in mind also during the learning mobility, to be able to include everyone and
to be able to put all the same opportunities to every student that want to go abroad.

41
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:58,630
When we go abroad,  also when we do a conference like this and have the possibility to
talk about sustainability, learning, mobility and all these kind of issues,  we are a
specific category of people that can do that and have the economical opportunity to do so.

42
00:06:59,170 --> 00:07:06,545
But one way to be sustainable in the learning mobility is exactly to try to have the same opportunities for everyone.

43
00:07:07,165 --> 00:07:10,185
And I think we should start also from small things.

44
00:07:10,985 --> 00:07:15,595
I have met an amazing student during the EPLM conference.

45
00:07:15,835 --> 00:07:35,201
He was, he was coming from France and he said that he started to learn a lot of languages just to have the
possibility to talk with all the people, as many people as he can, and also he learnt  the sign language to talk
with other students and try to be as  inclusive as possible  because his thought was I want to be part of it.

46
00:07:35,401 --> 00:07:38,161
I want to include these people in the conversation.

47
00:07:38,321 --> 00:07:43,781
I want to know about their story, and I need to destroy the barriers that we have between each other.

48
00:07:44,271 --> 00:07:52,731
And so one way also is not only from the eco point of view, as Manfred was
saying, maybe trying to understand how you go from one place to another.

49
00:07:52,951 --> 00:08:02,136
So trying to avoid the planes and all this kind of  stuff , but also trying
to figure all the aspects of sustainability to be as  sustainable as possible

50
00:08:02,985 --> 00:08:13,814
.
Dariusz: Thank you for touching upon this point, because I think  that whenever we  take on
board the concept of sustainability, there is this tendency only to focus on environment.

51
00:08:14,194 --> 00:08:21,884
No, there is talking about traveling, talking about how many people
should go and where we should live, what should we eat,  and so on.

52
00:08:22,544 --> 00:08:27,414
And  there's different aspects of social and and economic sustainability.

53
00:08:27,924 --> 00:08:31,974
They kind of rarely show, at least from what I see and what I follow.

54
00:08:32,594 --> 00:08:40,824
If we can explain a little bit about what it means, this social and economic sustainability,
this will be maybe good for   our listeners to understand  what we are talking about.

55
00:08:41,444 --> 00:08:50,664
And also since we know as well when it comes to especially the
environmental sustainability, that there are a lot of dilemmas.

56
00:08:50,664 --> 00:08:53,384
Manfred already mentioned some and you Georgia.

57
00:08:53,764 --> 00:08:59,214
What are the other dilemmas  especially related to social and economic sustainability?

58
00:08:59,274 --> 00:09:03,134
If we can have a little bit of discussion about that, that would be great.

59
00:09:04,312 --> 00:09:11,117
Manfred: That was, that was a very strong also a personal learning experience in the EPLM  conference.

60
00:09:11,227 --> 00:09:26,074
And I was very happy to see that, that we were of course  from our perspective of
national agencies and being in charge of such a big program we had very much this,
this mobility focus like how can we move people and which incentives can we give?

61
00:09:26,694 --> 00:09:32,854
And the conference turned that very much as for me into this really social dimension.

62
00:09:32,904 --> 00:09:43,778
And I learned that we really have to  take care and be very aware of that sustainability is  not cheap
and it's not for free, and we really have to work for it, and we really have to include people into it.

63
00:09:44,438 --> 00:09:49,537
So, first of all what does it mean  when you live  in a more environmental way?

64
00:09:49,967 --> 00:09:52,697
When you are more climate conscious?

65
00:09:52,797 --> 00:09:56,427
It means that your life becomes more expensive maybe.

66
00:09:56,427 --> 00:10:01,447
Because you eat other food, you have to buy organic food, or you want to buy organic food.

67
00:10:01,467 --> 00:10:08,687
So that is, that is not not possible for a lot of people who can just not afford to buy very costly things.

68
00:10:08,827 --> 00:10:12,757
So they have to come back to cheap offers of cheap food.

69
00:10:12,777 --> 00:10:24,152
Or maybe also when it comes to meat, we see when we go to supermarkets,
how cheap meat is, at least I see that very often in German supermarkets.

70
00:10:24,172 --> 00:10:38,409
So, and how these things are connected and how we can also use our learning programs  to make people more aware
of this and also think about solutions on  how to be more conscious but also be more inclusive in this way.

71
00:10:38,429 --> 00:10:45,629
So that was  I think social inclusion and sustainable mobility was a very big issue in the conference.

72
00:10:45,629 --> 00:10:51,949
Maybe it was the most important aspect or one of the most important
aspects that came out of this conference, how these are connected.

73
00:10:52,609 --> 00:11:01,274
And the good thing, I think  about Erasmus Plus is that we have
the two priorities that we can easily bring these things together.

74
00:11:01,494 --> 00:11:03,384
We can promote projects.

75
00:11:03,404 --> 00:11:11,024
We can encourage young people to set up projects that deal with
inclusion aspects on one hand, and mobility aspects on the other aspect.

76
00:11:11,124 --> 00:11:17,174
So  this was a very important thing  and my strongest personal learning maybe.

77
00:11:18,189 --> 00:11:19,059
Giorgia: Thank you Manfred.

78
00:11:19,079 --> 00:11:25,113
You raise very important points and topics,  for example , the one about the economical struggles.

79
00:11:25,173 --> 00:11:39,903
You know, for example, I have in Italy if you want to be a vegetarian, for example, or a vegan person, it is
very complicated since in Italy we don't have as many opportunities for vegan and vegetarian people, for example.

80
00:11:40,443 --> 00:11:52,647
And so this is something that also when you travel abroad and go from one place to another, you need  to
keep in mind  the price of the food that you will find  in the place that you're going to, you know?

81
00:11:53,227 --> 00:12:05,797
And so,  it is important to underline that social sustainability is something linked  to the human rights
and  the relationship between the others to have equal opportunities and to focus on the community.

82
00:12:06,257 --> 00:12:13,147
Rather, the economical point of view is more connected to the perspective of the economic opportunities that we have.

83
00:12:13,607 --> 00:12:19,587
So these three points are strongly connected also when we travel from one place to another.

84
00:12:19,807 --> 00:12:23,947
And it is very important also for people to have a definition like that.

85
00:12:24,417 --> 00:12:27,127
I've met this girl that's  called Flavia Saron

86
00:12:27,127 --> 00:12:30,339
.
She is from Romania, but she was raised in Italy.

87
00:12:30,839 --> 00:12:37,099
She came in Italy when she was very young, and right now she's part of the Lunaria association.

88
00:12:38,004 --> 00:12:51,358
And she was explaining to me how sustainability, the concept of sustainability, especially social sustainability,
really saved their life because  having  a definition, something that explains how to be more inclusive as possible.

89
00:12:51,358 --> 00:13:09,878
Also for her,  as a person with some disabilities . She's deaf from the, from when she was younger and she
has several disabilities, in talking, for example, she was explaining this just the definition of social
sustainability, so, something that is trying to be more inclusive as possible, for her was something life changing.

90
00:13:10,458 --> 00:13:20,978
And it is  a concept that is trying to teach to a lot of young students also when
she's doing project abroad or traveled with students with the project of Lunaria.

91
00:13:20,998 --> 00:13:29,717
I think it's really amazing  to understand the importance of definitions and
the importance of a correct word, a correct definition to be more inclusive

92
00:13:30,792 --> 00:13:53,638
.
Lana: These questions of social and economic sustainability also sometimes raise the point
of differences  depending on the context, depending on each person's needs . So I think one
of the aspects of the conference that was also highlighted was that  we cannot apply the
same kind of mode of thinking to every young person that is involved in mobility activities.

93
00:13:53,698 --> 00:14:14,168
So while  we should be always thinking about things such as sustainable travel, we also need to weigh it with,
for example, inclusion and young people  coming from the remote areas or rural areas who might not always have an
opportunity to take trains or  to come in a more economic, more sustainably efficient way of traveling, et cetera.

94
00:14:14,228 --> 00:14:25,708
So I think also these kind of different layers of inclusion  that impact on sustainability
always need to be on our minds when we are conducting mobility activities in sustainable way.

95
00:14:26,255 --> 00:14:41,360
Dariusz: I was thinking  if you know of any   practical implementation  of what we are talking about,  of how
young people and youth organizations actually are making sure that sustainability is there in  mobility projects.

96
00:14:41,452 --> 00:14:53,357
Of course, we mentioned some of them already, but if you know any practices that are, or maybe something
that you actually promote like in a German National Agency or  the projects   already implemented.

97
00:14:53,377 --> 00:14:57,397
How was it done actually in youth mobility projects?

98
00:14:58,157 --> 00:15:03,097
Manfred: Wow, there's such a big variety  of different projects.

99
00:15:03,557 --> 00:15:14,031
What we did, what was also part of our work plan  within new  climate change priority in
the program, we developed the guidelines, some guidelines for practical implementation.

100
00:15:14,641 --> 00:15:21,006
That was our intention on how to create and implement a project that is sustainable.

101
00:15:21,486 --> 00:15:33,576
And one learning, also from this exercise and also from the conference was that we as national agencies
we know a lot of mobility, but we don't have a lot of expertise and experience with the world outside.

102
00:15:33,676 --> 00:15:44,696
So it was so great to see the co-operation in this project, but also in the
conference, and how many people really know so much more than us about sustainability.

103
00:15:44,836 --> 00:15:50,206
So that was really a great enrichment also for the guidelines that we put together.

104
00:15:50,396 --> 00:15:53,356
And it was just ready before the summer holidays.

105
00:15:53,426 --> 00:16:09,496
I took it with me in the summer holidays, and I read through it and it was really just
great to do that because I've had, okay, it's  very nice guidelines to help set up a
project, but in the end, when you look at it, it goes far beyond only doing a project.

106
00:16:09,636 --> 00:16:12,036
It reaches out to your own personal life.

107
00:16:12,036 --> 00:16:20,229
And that is really nice because it covers  all the different aspects
from, how you can improve your mobility, your personal mobility.

108
00:16:20,499 --> 00:16:26,229
Also, like Lana said it already, why can't we  take trains and buses more, much more often?

109
00:16:26,369 --> 00:16:27,849
What can we do to avoid planes?

110
00:16:27,989 --> 00:16:39,809
So, we have all these guidelines now here and all of  these different aspects, they  are
accompanied with some practical good practice examples that are described very, very briefly.

111
00:16:40,319 --> 00:16:45,619
Sometimes it's little local certificates that are issued for certain activities.

112
00:16:45,619 --> 00:16:53,183
Sometimes it's it's a plan,  like shared bikes or this, these
carriage bikes, a shared system on how to use them at local level.

113
00:16:53,273 --> 00:17:05,728
How you can also integrate this kind of local environmental friendly transportation
within your projects, how you can make your project become a traveling  project as such.

114
00:17:05,728 --> 00:17:11,088
So there is loads of ideas and projects and  that's really good to see that.

115
00:17:11,108 --> 00:17:31,468
And I think that's also a bit our task as EPLM or as national agencies or as journalists to talk about
this and make these many, many, many good examples also visible and transfer them to others because that is
really something where you learn much more than if we tell them, please make your project more sustainable.

116
00:17:31,568 --> 00:17:37,388
So when you really see and touch a project and see how it's done, that makes it much more easy.

117
00:17:37,408 --> 00:17:40,388
And it's much more an incentive to do it the same way.

118
00:17:41,792 --> 00:17:58,212
Lana: Just to follow up on Manfred ,  because within the EPLM we have actually been gathering different
practices from different countries following the conference, and it was really inspiring to see
different aspects of sustainability that  different organizations they're using in their daily work.

119
00:17:58,272 --> 00:18:06,222
So we had also examples concerning art, for example, concerning different types of sustainable living, et cetera.

120
00:18:06,282 --> 00:18:29,994
So we will soon be publishing a compendium of inspiring practices in this regard . And of course there
are many other resources that we have, such as study on sustainability and learning mobility that
was published within the work of the EPLM, the background paper explaining  different understandings
of sustainability and also many other inspiring tools and resources from the youth sector.

121
00:18:30,374 --> 00:18:41,794
At the Youth Partnership, we have the sustainability checklist which we developed in cooperation with the
Joint Council on Youth of the Council of Europe, but also cooperation with various youth organizations.

122
00:18:41,934 --> 00:18:51,874
But we see every day that  within the youth sector everybody's taking on this topic
very seriously and very passionately, and really developing different resources.

123
00:18:52,054 --> 00:18:54,604
And every day we have more inspiring practices.

124
00:18:55,064 --> 00:19:09,614
So, whether it is kind of buying fair trade or buying local for events or focusing
on really teaching sustainability at each of the events,  regardless of what the
topic is and kind of practically implementing sustainability within the activities.

125
00:19:10,649 --> 00:19:11,341
Dariusz: Okay, thank you.

126
00:19:11,371 --> 00:19:15,051
I was wondering what kind of vision do we have for sustainability?

127
00:19:15,051 --> 00:19:25,942
Because there's probably a lot of questions we can discuss  and probably will not find answers to many of them . I mean
, one of them that comes to my head is  how the youth organization can actually measure the impact on sustainability.

128
00:19:26,282 --> 00:19:30,822
Is there anything there in the pipeline or to support actually youth organizations to measure this impact?

129
00:19:30,962 --> 00:19:34,182
But what's the vision  for sustainability in learning mobility?

130
00:19:34,232 --> 00:19:35,142
Where are we going?

131
00:19:35,482 --> 00:19:42,787
How do you see it in the future, or maybe what's your dream as well, because that's also valid and important.

132
00:19:44,150 --> 00:19:48,260
Giorgia: Personally, I think there are three main points that we need to underline.

133
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:53,380
First of all, I think one of my  dream is to of course raise awareness.

134
00:19:53,600 --> 00:20:03,580
So as we were saying before, to have more and more people that can talk about
sustainability, learning mobility, and have a more complex understanding of the topic.

135
00:20:04,150 --> 00:20:19,625
Second of all, I would really like to try to be as sustainable as possible because when you understand and you have the
definition, you really look at your life or your lifestyle and you really understand how,  are you sustainable or not?

136
00:20:19,845 --> 00:20:21,945
You know, how many trains do you get?

137
00:20:22,005 --> 00:20:25,625
How many planes do you, do you get to come from one place to another?

138
00:20:26,165 --> 00:20:28,405
How much money do you spend on food?

139
00:20:28,425 --> 00:20:33,335
How much money do you spend on, for example, going out with friends, basically.

140
00:20:33,445 --> 00:20:42,230
Also, because not everyone is able to do the same things, and
so also trying to understand how  your impact is on the world.

141
00:20:42,770 --> 00:20:53,630
And thirdly, and most importantly, something that we really said a lot, and Lana will confirm
it, during the EPLM conference was be nice to yourself and fight for the  bigger outcome.

142
00:20:53,690 --> 00:21:10,815
But remember, not to stress yourself too much, because after understanding and raising
awareness, understanding your lifestyle, how is sustainable, one of the dilemmas
and the outcomes can be stress related to trying to be as sustainable as possible.

143
00:21:11,405 --> 00:21:25,525
I've talked to a lot of  young students that suffer from eco anxiety and eco anger and so , those
are kind of conditions where students have anxiety because of the fear of the end of the world.

144
00:21:25,595 --> 00:21:32,110
Fear of not being able to try to be part of the climate change, to intervene on the climate change.

145
00:21:32,290 --> 00:21:33,910
And so those are outcomes.

146
00:21:34,130 --> 00:21:37,390
So we need to be kind to ourself and try to do our best.

147
00:21:37,890 --> 00:21:50,227
And so this is my dream for the future,  where we can fight for the bigger outcome with not stressful
environment, but with an environment that is peaceful and try tp fight for the climate altogether.

148
00:21:51,574 --> 00:21:53,904
Manfred: That was so super beautiful, Georgia.

149
00:21:54,934 --> 00:21:55,504
Very nice.

150
00:21:55,934 --> 00:22:07,954
Very nice to say that because I think   that's also very important for us, so that is not only
about doing a job in this field, but it's so much connected to your personal individual life.

151
00:22:08,134 --> 00:22:14,634
And,  I don't want to say, okay, you have to be a role model, but you just need to act in a coherent way.

152
00:22:14,894 --> 00:22:23,179
So  you kind of go and   make your project more sustainable and
yourself, you're not really following  certain ideas or concepts.

153
00:22:23,759 --> 00:22:44,909
What I think is what makes it different, and maybe that's also a little bit, can be a little bit of an
answer to what Georgia described as some kind of eco anxiety or something is that we, that we have a
learning environment or that we could provide a learning environment that is not so strict and formal.

154
00:22:44,959 --> 00:22:55,539
So we have this  non-formal learning opportunities provided by the
programs and where you can maybe more experience what can be done.

155
00:22:55,609 --> 00:23:04,379
You learn things that are complex and that are difficult and that is also maybe scary for many people, of course it is.

156
00:23:04,779 --> 00:23:06,359
In reality, it is scary.

157
00:23:07,019 --> 00:23:10,159
But not to panic and, and learn how to deal with it.

158
00:23:10,179 --> 00:23:24,904
And I think the learning environment that potentially the programs provide through the activities can help  to overcome
this also a bit, because you can try out things, you can learn how other people do it or you can create new ideas.

159
00:23:25,044 --> 00:23:37,374
So I think that is very important and maybe that we should also take this  as a kind of
responsibility for us as national agencies or trainers or whoever is implementing the programs.

160
00:23:37,834 --> 00:23:41,494
So this individual aspect is very, very important.

161
00:23:41,794 --> 00:23:43,574
And, and I see an opportunity there.

162
00:23:43,574 --> 00:24:18,694
But one other aspect I also learned and I learned more and more we also have to think about how to connect to
each other, how to have a good cooperation at the political level, because at least somehow in Germany, I feel
there's also a strong opposition, a strong denial of climate change, for instance, or a strong opposition against
certain, certain things that need to be implemented  to stop CO2 emissions or so, so it's not self-standing.

163
00:24:18,954 --> 00:24:23,254
Not everyone thinks in the same direction, and I think we, we need each other.

164
00:24:23,834 --> 00:24:34,394
We need  the partners, the people who have knowledge, the expertise, scientists,
but also NGOs who worked for a long time with a lot of commitment in this field.

165
00:24:34,394 --> 00:24:47,199
So we need to work together also to raise the awareness, as Georgia said, but also to strengthen ourselves,
to support ourselves in this,  let's say more political or strategical necessities that we have to overcome.

166
00:24:47,339 --> 00:24:54,144
So it's also not  a case that everyone says, okay, there is climate change and we have to do something against it.

167
00:24:54,164 --> 00:24:55,484
And I will start here and here.

168
00:24:55,484 --> 00:25:01,804
There are a lot of people who just don't care or say, this is not really necessary, or, well, it's just weather.

169
00:25:03,172 --> 00:25:03,882
Lana: Thank you both.

170
00:25:04,792 --> 00:25:12,002
I think it has been really inspiring . We have been talking about this topic,
as I said, for for quite some time  in the context of learning mobility.

171
00:25:12,942 --> 00:25:22,252
And I think some of the things that are important to remember is that while we can all live more
sustainability  we can all bring more balance and sustainability to our lives through our actions.

172
00:25:22,912 --> 00:25:30,202
We can also share the message about it and how to do it, and we can also inspire with our example and our practices.

173
00:25:30,982 --> 00:25:45,617
But it is also important to acknowledge what Manfred mentioned is that we need to collaborate and we need to cooperate
on this topic because sustainability is not something that only one generation or one sector can tackle together.

174
00:25:46,197 --> 00:26:00,273
It is a joint effort and the one that requires us to consider all different aspects
of sustainability, but also all the different stakeholders and different sectors
because we are all contributing to it together in a positive or negative way.

175
00:26:00,493 --> 00:26:05,273
So it is up to all of us to work together to create a more sustainable future.
