What is a sustainable lifestyle and what can it consist of? How much does culture and participation play a role in getting everyone involved in sustainable development? Åland has worked for a long time with sustainability issues and during this seminar we will take a closer look at sustainable lifestyles and Åland from a Nordic perspective. How can Åland inspire other parts of the Nordic region to a more sustainable lifestyle?
The Nordic Council of Ministers has recently published a list of sustainable choices we can make in our everyday lives. But what exactly is a sustainable lifestyle and what can it consist of? The will to make sustainable choices exists, but how do we all get involved?
We discuss the role that culture and participation play in getting everyone involved in the green transition and the role of dialogue with decision-makers in motivating change.
We start with conversations with our speakers at 16.00 Finnish time. Afterwards, refreshments are served and the program turns into mingling at 17.00 to celebrate Åland 100 years. The evening's program also includes poetry and music.
The Nordic Council of Ministers has just come out with a list of recommended choices for private individuals. But, how can a society support sustainable processes for all pieces of a sustainable everyday life? What then is a sustainable lifestyle - what can it consist of? And how much does culture and participation play a role in getting everyone involved? And what can we learn from organizations that work with dialogue in the Nordic region? Åland has worked for a long time with sustainability and celebrates 100 years of self-government and therefore we will take a closer look at sustainable lifestyle and Åland in a Nordic context and what it can mean.
