"Together for the Future"

Cover des Buches; Fridays for Future und Scientist for Future von David Fopp

Since 2019, the young activists of Fridays for Future are internationally known. All over the world, they draw attention to the climate crisis and campaign for a better climate policy. The Scientists for Future movement also emerged at the same time. The association of scientists supports Fridays for Future with their knowledge and thus also draws attention to the crisis.

The event series "Together for the Future" - reading and discussion with Fridays and Scientists for Future and author Dr.David Fopp will focus on the  book by Dr. David Fopp; "Together for the Future - FridaysForFuture and ScientistsForFuture".  The book was written with the collaboration of Fridays for Future activists Isabelle Axelsson and Loukina Tille. In it, the author describes the genesis of Fridays for Future, of Scientist for Future and goes into the motor of the activists, what they stand for and what they fight against. Among other things, he explores the question of what is needed now as a political, but also civil society reaction and as a reaction of the universities to the climate/ecological crisis?

The event will be divided into four parts, each focusing on a different topic. The first episode will introduce Dr. David Fopp and his book. The following three parts relate to the three parts of the book: "The Rebellion of Youth," "Adults Respond," and "Together into the Future." Here, the author and the moderator discuss the climate crisis, its opportunities and problems with exciting guests: Lucia Parbel from Fridays for Future, Klaus Jäger from Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin and active Scientist for Future, and Fridays for Future activist and co-author of the chapter "Together into the Future": Loukina Tille.
