The first day of our trip we spend mainly in the university campus. | The first day of our trip we spend mainly in the university campus. | ||
After short game, in which we shortly introduced ourselves and tried to remember names of others, we came to activities more focused on the topic of our trip. Divided in to four groups we tried to answer questions, which summarized our present knowledges and guesses about sustainable development. Maybe one of the most interesting findings was the surprising fact, how the Czech universities are doing so little in this field. Even on our Alma mater in Olomouc we did not notice any bigger efforts except bins for recycled waste and thermal isolation of the buildings. (but probably in this case played a bigger role the factor of saving money for heating) | After short game, in which we shortly introduced ourselves and tried to remember names of others, we came to activities more focused on the topic of our trip.

Then we have a a guided tour around the university. Mario as our guide showed us lots of useful examples, how to behave and make others to think sustainable. This was, we think, really inspiring for all of us. Just one example for imagination: a stick on the stairs, warning you how much better is to use stairs instead of lift. Simple, but effective. | Then we have a a guided tour around the university. Mario as our guide showed us lots of useful examples, how to behave and make others to think sustainable.

After a lunch break our second „home-guide“ presented us the history and beginnings of the SD and the current situation in Austria, more detailed about Styria and Graz. Austria is known for his ecological thinking and this fact was just confirmed. People in Austria are active in this field, not afraid to make changes and have quite positive relationship to the protection of environment. Unfortunately we cannot say the same about people in Czech, we have really a lot of to learn and it is also maybe one of the reasons, why we have such a big ecological footprint. | After a lunch break our second „home-guide“ presented us the history and beginnings of the SD and the current situation in Austria, more detailed about Styria and Graz.

Next point of the programme was Andrew´s presentation about SD in Czech Republic. Because our group (honestly admit it) does not have much experiences with SD so far, it was for us quite unpleasant surprise that SD in Czech republic do not have government support, so we must rely on non-profit organizations and departments of few universities. From this reason it is very important the enlightenment of broad masses and put emphasis on the education in this field since the youngest age of children. | Next point of the programme was Andrew´s presentation about SD in Czech Republic.

The last activity was about communication- dialog/monolog, thinking/listening and some of us could even apply their art talent. Though this activity was really entertaining, in fact it did not bring us anything new. We have done similar activities already on high schools and we are quite aware of importance of communication - this is also applied not only for SD, but for all of sectors. | The last activity was about communication- dialog/monolog, thinking/listening and some of us could even apply their art talent.

First day we would like to summarize as really good start of our five day excursion. | First day we would like to summarize as really good start of our five day excursion. | ||
The last thing of the day was walk around the Graz. It is probably useless to write more about it - just thank to Mario for the guided city tour. | The last thing of the day was walk around the Graz. It is probably useless to write more about it - just thank to Mario for the guided city tour. | ||
