​​Welcome to an open space on long-term sustainability, funded by a Sustainability Action Booster, where people from diverse backgrounds and schools of thought participate in interactive workshops for an afternoon.

​
What is long-term sustainability?

​It is the act of enabling good futures for all beings today and far into the future, even hundreds or thousands of years from now.

​

​Mingle for good

​We are bringing together students and professionals who care about sustainability. What do you hope for the long-term future of humanity and the earth? Your answer matters – whatever you just imagined, no matter how fuzzy or optimistic.

​

​Our goals

• ​Expand the network of sustainability-conscious students

• ​Allow for the natural exchange of new ideas

• ​Promote collaboration between disparate groups 

• ​Inspire people to take action, study or work in relevant fields, launch projects, and make sustainable decisions

​

​What is an open space seminar?

​You will have the chance to participate in 45-minute workshops and discussions that introduce people to deeply meaningful ideas. You may also self-elect to host your own event.

​

​What is provided? What do I do?

​Kalasataman Vapaakaupunki provides the space, and we provide stationary and supplies. You participate in workshops and (potentially) host one yourself, but only if you wish.​ All registered participants will also receive a vegan lunch.

​

​What workshops will be run?

​We are continually adding new workshops as proposals roll in. Here are the ones on the agenda so far:

• ​Better governance and justice for future generations

• ​Greatest threats to humanity

• ​Socially sustainable AI

• ​Finding and applying for SDG funding for your projects

• ​(Your idea here!)

​
