  • Music increases empathy and that’s sustainable!
    2 January 2020, by Eva Wissenz

    As I often say, sustainability is not only about doing great stuff but it’s also (and very much) about caring, sharing, healing, developing more focus and empathy. So for once, I wanted to share about the beautiful program of the Tampere Chamber Music festival happening this January. During 4 days, free events, lectures, concerts, hours and hours to relax, reload and feel beauty...

  • EkoLive: Betoniviidakot metsien maassa – kestävä kaupunki rakentuu puusta
    7 October 2021, by Eva Wissenz

    Metsä on aina ollut suomalaisten sielunmaisema ja ennen meille olikin itsestään selvää, että rakensimme myös kotimme puusta. Jossain vaiheessa kuitenkin totesimme, että parempiakin rakennusmateriaaleja löytyy. Vai löytyykö sittenkään?

    I have already introduced Extinction Rebellion and the Climate Crisis Coffee times they organize every Thursday, so no need to repeat.
    During 1 hour this week, at Tampereen yliopiston Päätalo, luentosali A3, members of EX will give an overview of the climate change crisis problem, and then during another hour explain why nothing worked so far. They will introduce the audience to civil disobedience (and it can be a challenge in Finnish culture).
