Workshop: Nachhaltiges gestalten in der Alten Musik

In the organizer's words:

The 17 SDGs and the 1.5 degree target of the Paris Agreement set clear boundaries for how we must manage the resources on our planet. But how does the cultural sector fit into all of this? What is our ecological footprint and how can we minimize it? Climate change is a global problem that affects everyone, and the only way to tackle it is to act together as a community. Culture can play a crucial role in uniting audiences towards a greener future and becoming a social leader. By sharing examples of role models, discussing realistic possibilities with the audience, looking at corporate structures that integrate the goal of "climate neutrality" into their business model, and addressing the fears and risks that the classical music sector faces in the transition, this workshop aims to inspire a new cultural mindset.
