Our project this semester “Berlin for Future” has been made together with the Senate of Berlin. The Senate has been looking for fresh and interesting ideas for making students more aware about climate change.
At our first meeting with the representative from the Senate we asked her about different aspects of the project (expectations, wishes, topic of interest). We found out about an idea of Klimasparbuch(climate savings book) for Berlin, a sustainable guide for the city, which has already been created for some regions in Germany. However, this idea was dismissed on the basis of it causing consumption instead of changing consumption behaviour, and we were tasked to create 2 elaborate concepts of applications, which should be particularly contemporary, addressing students and encouraging them to consume less than previous climate savings books.
