We will be discussing with experts from various fields in the Theatercafé from 7 pm. Everyone is welcome to join in the discussion, contribute ideas or simply listen. YETi ("Youth Empowerment Tirol") is a non-partisan Erasmus+ project that aims to make the European Union tangible and accessible to young Tyroleans. At #TreffpunktEU, we discuss political topics, gain new knowledge and collect ideas and wishes for the future of Europe.

Local perspectives for accelerated implementation and post-2030 sustainability agenda - The panel discussion takes the United Nations High-Level Political Forum in New York and the publication of Austria's 2nd Voluntary National Implementation Report as an opportunity to discuss, among other things, the speed and scope of changes in urban areas in recent years and the role of cities and trans-local alliances for the sustainability agenda up to 2030 and beyond. More information may be found here.

The gemeinsamfuer.eu volunteers from Tyrol invite you to the event “Young voices for Europe: Shaping the future together”. This event provides a platform for young people and European election candidates to share their perspectives on the future of Europe.

The labor market is changing not only as a result of technological progress, but also due to the multifaceted interaction between generations. Although the high demand for labor has seemingly brought the “human factor” back into focus, age discrimination is still an everyday experience. Thinking in terms of “generations” does not help: baby boomers are seen as narrow-minded and far removed from technology, while younger generations are stereotyped as disinterested and primarily leisure-oriented. The talk will focus on the causes and consequences of this discrimination, with the aim of discussing constructive approaches for an inclusive working environment. In this intergenerational dialog, we will discuss strategies for promoting intergenerational coexistence and the opportunities that arise from this. More information may be found here.

Jakob Sauseng will give an overview of European refugee policy and explain the major challenges facing international decision-makers. More information may be found here.

Climate change is considered the challenge of our time. Solutions are often characterized by a scientific-technical approach, but it is about more than that: global and local social inequalities mean that people are affected differently by the consequences of climate change. The interactive lecture shows how gender and climate are connected. Because without gender equality, there can be no climate-friendly society and vice versa. You can find more information here.

This webinar explores how the social metabolic analysis framework provides powerful insights into the interrelations between society, environment, and economy. The session will cover the key concepts of social metabolism, and how it can be applied to sustainability issues. As a framework seeking to bridge the social and natural sciences, we will also discuss how a variety of disciplinary approaches can contribute to socio-metabolic research. More informations may be found here.

Is it possible that a critical mass of people could turn the tide of the climate crisis, even if it is not the majority?
