Our world is full of movement: Technological innovations such as AI and renewable energies are opening up new possibilities, while we are seeing people around the world standing up for climate protection, social justice and diversity. As tiring as this can be, this time of change also offers us the chance to rediscover our own place in the world and actively shape it.
In our three-day excursion, we will take time for this and ask: How can we ourselves be part of positive change? How do we relate to the world, to ourselves and to others? And what are the interactions between our relationships and sustainability?

In the tranquillity of nature, we invite you to explore your inner strengths and see how personal growth influences external change. Connectedness and self-awareness are important skills for shaping a sustainable future. That's why we alternate exercises from mindfulness and yoga practice with experiential elements. The theoretical inputs are based on the concept of “personal sustainability”, which focuses on the relationship between ourselves and the world.

Aims of the excursion seminar:
- Activate and strengthen your inner resources
- Understand how inner and outer transformation are connected
- Experience connection with the group
- Develop ideas for a sustainable way of life and apply them in everyday life
- Strengthen future, innovation and vision skills

The excursion starts on June 10 “in the present” and ends on June 12 with a look into the world of tomorrow - both in the Zukunftsraum (Rintheimer Straße 46 in Karlsruhe). In between, there will be two overnight stays at Thomashof (Karlsruhe Stupferich). We will walk between the Zukunftsraum and Thomashof. Please let us know in advance if this is not possible.

Workload for ECTS:

2 ECTS: Committed participation in the excursion seminar, follow-up of the exercises and transfer tasks, written transfer reflection

3 ECTS: by arrangement with the seminar leader
