Block Seminar on “Green Economy”

From 13-16 April, Visiting Fellow Roksoliana Liubachivska held a block seminar on “Green Economy” at the Zukunftskolleg. The seminar brought together a diverse group of international students from Italy, Spain, UK, France, Tunisia, and Azerbaijan to learn about various aspects of green economy and sustainable development.

The seminar covered a wide range of topics, including an introduction to green economy, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), circular business economic models, and the policymaking process. These discussions provided a great platform for the participants to learn about the importance of transitioning to the green economy and the impact it can have on our planet.

During the seminar, students also played an exciting game called "Circula - The Circular Economy and Entrepreneurship Game," which was developed with funding from the Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra. The game helped the participants to learn about the circular economy and entrepreneurship, which are essential aspects of green economy.

In addition to these activities, the students also worked on creating posters on the Green Index for University/Schools/Accommodation, which provided them with the opportunity to showcase their creativity and understanding of green economy concepts.

“The poster session was a great success, and the students presented their ideas with enthusiasm”, says Roksoliana Liubachivska. “We hope that these seminars have inspired our students to think more deeply about the importance of transitioning to a green economy and making a positive impact on our planet.”
