The next event of the online series focuses on the megatopic of sustainability from a different perspective and shows new ways to find sustainable solutions: The professor of media psychology at the Media University of Applied Sciences in Cologne is convinced that we can only achieve the necessary transformation if we radically rethink and redesign food, work, housing and mobility now. Above all, we urgently need doers, decision makers and leaders who think dynamically and interact with emotional maturity as individuals, in groups and with the environment. We all need to rethink, because sustainability is always a state of mind. But why is that the case? And how can psychology help us to save the world? In her lecture, expert Professor Dr. Maren Urner provides exciting answers that can be applied to all areas of life.
