DOCK for Change – Climate Conference

17.06.2024

“Change Agents” between the ages of 8 and 10 presented their vision

„Stadtnatur zum Staunen“ (Engl.: Amazing urban nature) was the motto of the DOCK for Change – Climate conference of the University of Vienna’s Kinderbüro, where 93 “Change Agents” between the ages of 8 and 10 presented their vision of a good future. In a year-long co-creative participatory process, a 10 point manifesto was developed and presented to an audience of experts, entrepreneurs, educators and politicians at the conference. Parts of the EnvPsy Vienna team were also involved in the process, and Sabine Pahl and Leonie Fian took part in the final conference.
