Postponing the Climate Walk

We are thus happy to announce the Climate Walk through Austria (working title) taking place this summer! From east to west (or the other way around, we are not completely sure yet) we will walk through Austria to test our concepts and methods, strengthen community ties, and gain valuable experiences. This enables us to, on a smaller scale, try out everything we have set out to do originally, and to further secure our position for the bigger project in 2022. We are really only in the early phases of organizing this, but it gives our team’s effort purpose and bridges the gap until June 2022.

Before we even thought about the possibility of postponing, we increasingly came to realize what this project of ours meant, and what it could and will turn out to be. The potential of it is nearly limitless – which is both exciting and intimidating. We ultimately see this as a positive development not only for the project, but for the ever-growing community around the Climate Walk – even though it means waiting for another year. However, we would rather wait another year and utilize the time we gained than jeopardize the health of the Wanderers and the success of the project.

We are confident in our decision and hope that you can understand and support it. As we said, it brings a lot of opportunities for us as a team and for the project itself. The Climate Walk through Austria is still in its inception, so if you have suggestions for the route, or are interested in cooperating with us, please contact us – we look forward to hearing you!
For those of you outside of Austria, we know that this alternative is not the best consolation. We will follow the Walk intensively through our different social media channels, so be sure to follow along!

Besides this we also organized an online lecture at the University of Vienna, which starts today,  March 11^th. It is full of fascinating topics and open for everyone, so follow the link if you are interested! You can also find the recordings of past lectures here.

If you have any questions about the Climate Walk’s postponement, about the alternative Walk through Austria, or about anything really, feel free to contact us via contact@climatewalk.eu or our social media channels!

Thank you for all the support so far, we are excited for the future and hope you are too!

All the best from the Wanderers of Changing Worlds,
Alexandra, Anna, Eva, Julia, Martin, Martina, Timo, Gerald.
