The three-day seminar for master's degree students and doctoral students, dedicated to the figure and work of Alexander Langer, invited students to reflect on some crucial current and future issues such as the climate and environmental crisis, the social and individual responsibility towards environmental harms, the problem of how to motivate people to adopt a more sustainable life style, etc. This was made by referring, in a free manner, to Alexander Langer's legacy. The figure of Langer has been valued first in his being a tireless mediator, for whom "living politically" meant being the element of relationship, the ‘bridge’, in every possible conflict. |
