About Journey Visions - A Path towards Sustainability
Journey Visions - A Path towards Sustainability is a podcast that developed out of the EIT Climate-KIC Journey summer school 2020 where we interview sustainability experts, environmentalists, climate action activists and students who are a part of this journey.
44. Integrating climate change into school curricula
Larissa Barabasch from Vienna is a Climate-KIC Master Label student label at the University of Copenhagen. As an economics and business student, her curiosity led her to question the model of growth and use it to address soil diversity and waste management. After changing her studies from economics to climate change, together with other participants from the Madrid-Valencia Journey she is currently working on a modular school program for 10-14 year old school kids. The modular system of different courses, panel discussions, events and other diverse activities, allows for direct climate change incorporation into the school curriculum without being a huge burden for the teachers. Find out how this hybrid program will allow school kids to connect with topics of climate change and the problems from and around it.
Larissa’s favorite sustainability tools are two podcasts:

43. Misconceptions of individual impact and the importance of consumption
Tune in for a very interesting conversation on the relevance of personal choices and impact on the environment. Our guests, food and winter lover Raquel Sabater Cánovas fom Madrid and Aleksandra Milovanović from Serbia who loves design, sports and music, participated in the Climate KIC Journey 2020.
Raquel completed her studies in industrial and chemical engineering and is focusing on processes, in particular how to do more with less. Her project focuses on the carbon footprint awareness as people established the “I cannot do anything” mentality, which is contradictory to recent findings. Aleksandra is currently pursuing her PHD in process and product design in chemical engineering in Eindhoven. Her projects also focused on the carbon footprint related to waste management. She shares stories on how people are not aware of waste production, in particular with relation to the fashion industry.
Find out more how they want to create change, which stakeholder partnerships are relevant for their projects and why schools and children are crucial target groups.

42. Experiencing circularity on personal and professional level
Today’s episode builds on the inspiration of Paloma Velón García-Velasco and Mara Haverkort that translates into the engagement of people, doing little things for a better planet and finding solutions to complex problems, step by step.
Tune in and enjoy the stories of “Sea-Lover” Paloma (Madrid) and “Enthusiast” Mara (The Netherlands). While Paloma shares her vivid interest for a better world, she became inspired to take local action with the support of NGOs and the local authorities by organizing a Clean-Up-Day-Campaign. Mara is working on circularity startups and innovation and her individual action plan aims to create recommendations related to interventions on how such startups can overcome barriers to access financial support.
