Lebensmittelverschwendung und Verpackung - ein Zielkonflikt!?
Wir beschäftigen uns mit der Frage, warum Lebensmittelverschwendung und Plastikverpackungen ein Umweltproblem sind und wie diese beiden Themen zusammenhängen. Danach diskutieren wir was Politik, Wirtschaft und Konsument*innen tun können um Ressourcen zu schonen und Abfall zu vermeiden.
Systems behind "Waste": 30 min. panel discussion

1.30 PM to 3.00 PM
"If you got nothing to hide, you got nothing to fear": the role of dangerous narratives in data privacy
In an interview from 2009, Google CEO Schmidt made the following statement: "If you've done nothing wrong, you've got nothing to worry about." So, it doesn't matter who has your data and it doesn't matter what "they" know about you as long as you are just doing everyday stuff, right? Wrong. Corporations and government know a lot about us and in this session we will talk about why an indifferent perception of privacy and surveillance leads to problems that are far outreaching your own private life. In addition, we want to find out if new mental models are needed to end this 24/7 surveillance system and which ones that would be.
Systems behind "Responsible digitalisation": 30 min. panel discussion

Gender Equality and Men: Is the gender equality movement inclusive enough?
When we talk about gender equality and feminism, for a lot of people the first thing that comes to their mind is women's rights. We commonly associate gender equality with female empowerment and perceive it as a women's issue. In doing so, we tend to turn a blind eye on the role of men as gatekeepers in a patriarchal society and liberate them from their responsibility in achieving a truly gender equal word. Similarly, men often feel excluded from the discourse and unwanted in the gender equality movement. In this session we will discuss whether the gender equality movement is inclusive enough and what can be done to turn it into a movement of and for us all.

Waste is a value in the wrong place (hosted by Circular Economy Forum Austria)
Designing out waste and creating value from waste are both cases where there’s a strong business case for choosing the more sustainable option. What are the barriers so far to create industries that don’t use things up but reuse, refurbish or remanufacture resources? What are the systemic challenges the construction sector is facing? And what does that mean for people working in this sector?
Systems behind "Waste": 30 min. panel discussion

10:45 AM to 12:50 PM
Das Elektroschrottproblem: Kann die Kreislaufwirtschaft unsere Gesellschaft retten?
Dass es schwierig ist, die Menge an Elektroschrott zu reduzieren ist gewusst. Die von Konzernen geplante Obsoleszenz und Förderung eines schier endlosen Kaufrauschs machen den Wandel zu einer Kreislaufwirtschaft, die nicht auf Ausbeutung und Überproduktion basiert nicht einfacher. Welche Möglichkeiten gibt es also, diesem System eine nachhaltige Richtung zu geben? Dazu wollen wir hinter die Kulissen des Elektrogerätehandels schauen und herausfinden, was getan werden muss, um einer steigenden Überfülle an Elektroschrott entgegenzuwirken, sei dies auf Konsumentenebene, Förderung der Kreislaufwirtschaft oder einer Kultur, welche auf verantwortungsbewusstem Ressourcenverbrauch und der Reparatur von nicht einwandfrei funktionierenden Elektrogeräten basiert.

What about health in the new world of work? Challenges and opportunities for women, society and the economy
Der Trend geht zu einer mobileren, digitalisierten Arbeitswelt. Nicht zuletzt durch Corona arbeiten viele Menschen im Homeoffice. Warum stellt das gerade Frauen vor neue Herausforderungen? Welche Strukturen braucht es, damit die new world of work gleiche Chancen für Frauen und Männer bietet? Wie können wir Rahmenbedingungen schaffen, damit Frauen und Männer gleichberechtigt lange und gesund arbeiten können?

Media literacy: Key to navigating social media system dangers to individuals and society
What is media and how have modern media systems become a threat to our society? Media systems today offer tremendous opportunity to share knowledge and connect but also come with grave risks – extortion, radicalization, conspiracy thinking, and threats to democracy. We'll discuss this question and how will media literacy education in schools help solve the problem by creating a populace prepared to face the challenges of a future of advanced communications technology. We will also talk about what can you do immediately to make change.

Das System hinter Lebensmittelverschwendung
Ein Drittel aller weltweit produzierten Lebensmittel landet im Müll. In einem durchschnittlichen österreichischen Haushalt sind das Lebensmittel im Wert von € 400,-jährlich. Supermärkte werfen Produkte vor Ablauf des Mindesthaltbarkeitsdatums weg. Landwirte finden für optisch nicht perfekte Erdäpfel keine Abnehmer. Im online Workshop „Food Waste“ gehen wir dieser immensen Ressourcenverschwendung auf den Grund. Inhalte: Warum entsteht Food Waste überhaupt? Welche Folgen hat diese Verschwendung? Wie kann ich selbst gegen Foodwaste aktiv werden?
Systems behind "Waste": 75 min. Workshop

Achieving truly sustainable gender equity with a new way of leadership
Women empowerent networks and programs do their fair share of tackling the gender inequality between men and women. However, there are deep underlying structures and obsolete processes that make it very challenging to further sustainable gender equity in every sector of society. In this session, we will zoom out to see the systemic barriers that exist for gender equity and talk about the opportunities in feminist approaches to collaboration to tackle the roots of the problem. We will also see how we can shift from an old patriarchal way of doing things to establish a new way of leadership that ends gender biases and silos. If you are also wondering why gender equity is a more suitable term than gender equality, then this session is for you.

Why we need to talk about utopia today
Utopian thinking has a bad reputation as being too unrealistic and idealistic. But dystopian thinking has led us straight into dystopia. Having serious conversations around what an ideal world would look like not only allows us to align our vision on what that world could be, it also allows us to agree on the next best small steps to get there. In this conversation, Fred Dust, author of Making Conversation, will be joined by an expert on Futures Literacy to discuss how we can best create a language for the future that is guided by a utopian vision but grounded in practicality and realism. The two speakers in dialogue will explore the tensions between the deep systemic problems of our present and the need to harbor optimism for our future, and how we might reconcile these tensions.

Why solutions to inequality and the climate crisis are linked
All over the planet, people long for solutions that will stabilise Earth’s climate and eliminate social inequalities as quickly as possible. However, there simply are no instantaneous ‘magic bullet’ solutions to these complex problems. The problems are complex because there are interactions between the many parts of the system. It is impossible to change some parts without also affecting others, sometimes in unexpected ways. It is essential to consider this when trying to steer the system towards the future we want. In this session, we will focus on interactions between two complex challenges that affect our everyday lives—inequality and sustainability—and consider what the science of complex systems tells us about how to deal with them, together.
Session on "Social Innovation": 30 min. panel discussion

The three superpowers you need to know to change systems (hosted by Bertalanffy Center for the Study of Systems Sciences)
Can you actually change a system or is this just a quote widely used by politicians and activists? In case you know how to apply these three superpowers your chances are getting quite high. But be aware, like in any well written movie, the system will always strike back. In this session we will reveal systems essentials and the opportunity to change our perceptions with the joined forces of systems scientists and artists.

#Ecocivilisation – the next shared destination
A new civilisation is around the corner. It is coming from within. More and more of us are feeling it, sensing it, acting upon our inner calling. We know that it is time to live differently. To be more connected to the living world around us. Every being, society, space, consciousness, or relationship has a unique path of evolutionary development, its own behavior, purpose, and its own dreams. They are all deeply interconnected through interdependence. It’s high time to redefine and rework the way we live. Ecocivilisation is a growing movement and its only constant is change, acknowledging those individuals, teams, communities, projects that inspired Ecocivilisation in Action. We dive into specific topics and go from ideas into action. What is already happening, what can we do and how to do it, who to connect with and where to continue the threat.

How exactly could we invest in systems change?
Systemic changes are difficult to measure and highly misunderstood. This makes investment in systems change even more difficult. There have been many different ways that we’ve tried to invest in systems change. The main challenge we keep coming back to is the increasing complexity of the systems we want to change, which brings an increased uncertainty. So, planning is not enough. However, there is a new proposed way that addresses all these challenges and that is exactly what we are going to discuss in this session. How could we invest in systems change? Tune in to find out.

From grassroots to government: How we make policy changed
The most pressing problems of our times and on focus here are our common problem, but they do not require independent solutions. Taiwan has been making headlines lately, and for a good reason. From being one of the greatest success stories in handling COVID-19 to advancing gender equality, where it now ranks sixth globally, Taiwan has fast become a beacon of light for social innovation in a dynamic world. In this panel, we will present some of the solutions and approaches embraced in Taiwan and hear from experts about Taiwan’s “Warm Power”, a "people-centered" approach to build trust and collaboration with other countries. Cecilia Lee (expert on gender equality at Taiwan-Asia Exchange Foundation), Shu Yang Lin (co-founder of PDIS.tw), and Yahsin Huang (founder of the RadicalxChange Taipei chapter) will share tales from the history and momentum of the flourishing Taiwanese democracy.

Did we degrade social entrepreneurship?
Unfortunately, social entrepreneurship is not always social entrepreneurship. If social businesses end up hurting each other by competition and trying to out-perform other social businesses, the only result will be a reinforcement of the current economic system. To have a positive impact on societal and environmental systems, we need more than a simple product or business model. In this session Daniela Papi-Thornton and Alex Ryan will map out why we need social innovation and thinking in systems as a basis to unlock the system changing power of social entrepreneurship that it is supposed to have.
