About me
Hello, I am Veronika and I study Geography and Social Sciences for Further Education in Plzen (ZČU). My Master Thesis deals with the High Tatra Mountains from the point of geomorphometry. I really enjoyed the practical training at grammar school this spring and hope to find a teacher-position in the future.
I enjoy performing "geo-hobbies" in my free time (geocaching, hiking, cycling, traveling, scouting) and also trying to learn some new art techniques (= great way how to relax mentally).
The first time I participated at CZP CUNI event was in September 2012 - International Summer School of Regional Development (in the Ore Mts.) - and consequently in the Programme on Sustainability (e-learning).
Sustainability
We have already discussed the principles and background of Sustainable Development concept - now I see the most important thing about it is probably one´s (political) will. We may discuss how important the role of the politics is (e. g. various regulations or prohibitions) but there must be individual´s persuasion to start a way of sustainable living. Hopefully, there will be a chance to witness it through our Sustainability Field Trip:-)
Diary
Sunday 9th June
We all met in front of Fantova kavárna in Prague, full of optimism and enthusiasm. Only one co-traveler missed our departure due to the lack of time orientation:-) After very long but safe journey to Lüneburg our bus stopped near the Restaurant im Sportpark. The smell from its kitchen revealed that our dinner is being served right now. Consequently, we played a short name-game to know each other and then discussed little bit our SD perceptions and viewpoints.
Monday 10th June
The second day started with delicious breakfast and sunny walk to the city of Lüneburg. We met our guides from the Leuphana University and went throught the city centre enjoying a guided tour. Crossing the old streets full of Hanseatic houses reminded me middle ages atmosphere. We saw also some „pregnant“ houses which have dropped down for centuries due to the salt mining activity under them. However, the salt gave to the city its glance and fame that time. Afterwards we visited the Uni campus where we enjoyed „organic“ lunch and then heard about SD concept and how the sustainable campus is running. Secondly, two students introduced us the OIKOS initiative and we took part in their workshop.
