It cannot start soon enough

The goal of our society must be to anchor sustainable thinking and behaviour early in a person's life. Then it becomes second nature and not something that an adult must "learn".

EVVA has been cooperating with associations and schools for many years in order to teach children and young people about sustainable projects in a practical way, e.g.:

•  

  

  Initiative schülerInnen.gestalten.wandel
  (www.schuelergestaltenwandel.at), which brings sustainability to school classes. It involves pupils as equal partners in the discussion with companies and the public and coordinates the exchange of ideas. EVVA Wien has been a partner of schülerInnen.gestalten.wandel since 2014 and has invited school classes for company tours and CSR dialogues every year since then (see main photo). For many young people, the often vague term "sustainability" thus takes on life and meaning
   
• Job shadowing
  Students accompany the management for a few hours and experience what the professional world feels like in real life – for example by participating in staff events, talking about the challenges of a CEO or taking exclusive tours of the company.
