Thursday morning started at Leuphana University by listening to presentation by local German Green Party member Mr. Sebastian Heilmann. During his presentation students discovered that Green Party is relatively popular in Germany in comparison with the Czech Republic where Green Party has been discredited in recent years :( In Germany Green Party usually wins approximately 10 to 13 % of votes and in Luneburg the number is even more optimistic: 28 %! Following presentation by NGO DialogueS (Dialogue Sutainability) informed students about goals and activites of the organisation. Its main goal is to ensure participation off all stakeholders in sustainability dialogue at local scale. | Thursday morning started at Leuphana University by listening to presentation by local German Green Party member Mr. Sebastian Heilmann.

In the afternoon group visited Hamburg for second time however this time students were actively involved in field trip activities. Their task was to appropriately answer questions related to IBA - International Housing Exhibition. As title suggests IBA is the exhibition of newly built modern houses allocated in one of the Hamburg districts along Elbe. It is German attempt to address the most pressing issues of the present: cities and climate change and cosmopolis. | In the afternoon group visited Hamburg for second time however this time students were actively involved in field trip activities.

Houses use renewable energy sources, methods for saving energy and at the same time they are meant to be affordable for middle income segment of society. On the other hand they are still located in busy parts of the city therefore inhabitants would have to live with noise and polluted air. It is questionable whether such housing is sustainable for the future human health. | ||
