Students:Kristýna Sosnovcová II

About me

I´m studying International Development at UPOL in Olomouc and I´m starting my fourth year but still undergraduate. Furthermore, I´m studying English at the Faculty of Art (3nd year), but it is only subsidiary subject. During my free time I´m trying to contribute to development through volunteering in a Fair Trade group and other occasional projects. Besides that I love to travel, therefore I usually spend as much time as I can by travelling, the most favourit is on a low budget. Other hobbies are playing sport at a non-professional level, hiking, and trying more and more to do things against the current. My future ambition is to work for an international organization which deals with the environment or working on agricultural or environmental projects in poor countries. My dream is to make a world tour.

Sustainability

Being a student, I have no real power to change the understanding of the masses, so my current concept is to focus on my own life and my nearby surroundings such as roommates and friends. I´m thinking daily about the impact which my life as an ordinary student has on nature and I´m slowly trying to find the path I will go down in the future...having my own eco-farm, living in a sustainable community, living faraway in nature, etc. For example, right now I´m concerned with food. I hope that the trip will help me to better understand our possibilities for a sustainable life in Europe because I´m not sure there is a way of maintaining the standard we live at and simultaneously conserve our nature. Moreover I have learned about such technologies theoretically on my Erasmus stay in UK so I want to see it working in practice.
