On Sunday 8th November, Scott sat on the jury at the Berlin leg of the EIT Alumni Startup Weekend. Over the weekend, more than 250 participants in 5 European cities (Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Paris and Stockholm) worked together, sharing ideas and developing business models to find solutions for issues to do with sustainable development and climate change. Altogether, it was a wonderful gathering with plenty of inspiring conversations and actionable output!

Another perspective from Carlos documenting the panel discussion at art loft berlin exploring the varios dimensions of sustainability. Also included are some more shots from the various workshops and other general scenes… More Emergent Berlin Pics & Videos

…and now a peek into the world of our informal “anger management” workshop part 2, where we talk about the current issues in our lives that distract us in negative ways, write them on a wall and then ‘resolve’ the situation with a rather large hammer…
During our weekly work help sessions we invite volunteers to help renovate the space as part of a focussed and deeply engaging process where we have fun getting some good things done physically, personally, socially, emotionally and intellectually too.
Join a weekly session & choose your own time to help:
* This is part of an emerging video series called, “Building Progress…” where we hope to not only document the building of Das Baumhaus but also of the process of learning, working and building a better world together.
** We are happy to collaborate with builders, helpers, film makers, editors, producers, videographers and creators of all sorts!
More than 1500 people attended Emergent Berlin to help make his year’s festival the best yet! The vibe on both days was excellent. The whole festival area turned into one sprawling ‘open greeting zone’ so people felt very comfortable interacting with each other and ignoring the invisible social barriers that normally exist.
– Check our Emergent Berlin News page for pictures & videos plus updates about our new academic, social and event cooperations that developed from the festival…
