Climate Walk – Geh’ma, Austria

On July 3, 2021, we started the “Climate Walk – Geh’ma, Austria” in Dornbirn and finally reached Vienna on September 7, 2021. Besides walking ourselves (Walk), our walk included talks and interviews (Listen), lectures and workshops (Talk), media/art projects (Create) and networking with other projects (ConnAct) and was accompanied by external fellow walkers. The impressions, experiences and adventures we gathered resulted in research contributions as well as media and art contributions. You can find our journey below, thanks to our great team and great supporters.

“Climate Walk – Geh’ma, Austria” bridged the gap until the beginning of the postponed european Climate Walk on the 5th of June 2022 and enabled us to try out everything we have set out to do originally.

The walk

For around two months, our walk took us through the 9 federal counties, covering the entire diversity of Austria. We visited our project partners, but also discovered and got to know new initiatives and people along the way. Everyone was invited to join us on our walk and share their experiences with us. As we were aware of the restrictions due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we kept the hiking group small to act responsibly and so that everyone could feel safe and secure during the adventure.
