Zukunftskarawane

The project “Zukunftskarawane” reaches people in two pilot regions, namely in Lower Austria and Styria. It breaks with the logic of a top-down process that reflects the “perceived distance” between political institutions and society. “Zukunftskarawane” establishes a dialogue between science, politics and society, provides ideas for further networking throughout Austria and supports the shaping of a sustainable future.

The question of “good living” here and in the Global South and the search for utopian approaches to a sustainable future are at the heart of the caravan of the future.

Within developping small study projects (works of art, films, interventions, interactive events, etc. ). These take up topics which are regarded as central by the civil society of our partner communities in Lower Austria and Styria. The diverse results are presented in the partner regions, stimulate discussion and dialogue and lead to local thought, discussion and implementation processes around the 17 goals for sustainable development.
