  • Great to be here! A lot of ideas and new contacts that we can build on back home, I’m Daniel Mossberg, I’ve been working for over 20 years with student-led sustainability and climate education and a lot of other things at CEMUS.
  • CEMUS is the Centre for Environment and Development Studies at Uppsala University, in Uppsala, Sweden.
  • An interdisciplinary centre the whole of Uppsala University, mainly working with student-led courses and different outreach activities, open events, student initiatives and research collaborations. We have been this now for over 30 years.
  • Student-led education and how we have worked with culture and creativity.
  • ENVISIONS: Visions for Collaborative Student-Led Initiatives on Sustainability and Transdisciplinary Spaces – our open-ended thematic network that didn’t not receive funding.
  • Open invitation – if you want to start a course or a CEMUS-like centre.

  • Conditions for creativity, collaboration -> Building democratic organizations, building community, -based ways of working together, taking hiearchical organization as a given, linear top-down decision-making

… for every complex problem there’s a simple solution, and it’s wrong.

– Umberto Eco

… at every level the greatest obstacle to transforming the world is that we lack the clarity and imagination to conceive that it could be different.

– Roberto Unger

I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all the kinds of things you can’t see from the center.

– Kurt Vonnegut
