• Ecological sustainability in everyday life (e.g., “Planting a better future – sustainable habits”)
• Emotional skills and personal development, even in challenging times (e.g., “Emotional first aid kit”)
• Dealing with personal finances and budgeting (e.g., “Slow living budget challenge”)

All topics are implemented using interactive and engaging methods. Participants can and should contribute their own ideas and thoughts, exchange views with each other, and learn about new perspectives.
