Blog post #14: Gratitude

With this blog post I´d like to give thanks. Here you see the cover of a little booklet I made. Not many pages, but many experiences and reflections behind it.

My colleagues and I are facilitating a seminar at Leuphana University of Lüneburg this fall semester – in the famous Leuphana Semester, where students no matter which undergradute study program and major they are going to study, embark on their very first research project together.

Marga and I have quite a lot in common. Just that she is bringing her energy to fruition in Vancouver/Canada. She aims to co-create spaces that promote sustainable well-being and one of her aspirations is to transcend silos. She writes „solving today’s complex and wicked problems requires collaboration. I am passionate about connecting people to… Blog post #5: Another one of „us“ weiterlesen
