Dear community 🌿✨
We’re excited to invite you to the next WgCoCo cross-pollination session on sustainable consumption communication.
In our last SCORAI Crosspollination session, we explored how (pop) culture can contribute to behavioral and systemic change—and asked:
Can collective, positive experiences (like sustainability festivals) inspire systemic change more effectively than other communication and learning formats? If yes, how might we design a SCORAI festival in Italy this summer that creates common ground
for a sustainable future in divisive times?
To dive into this, we’ll be joined by:
🎓 Dr. Julius Grund (Institut Futur / German UNESCO Program “ESD 2030”) — expert on emotions
in transformative learning
🎭 Emma Marzi — researcher, artivist, and degrowth festival organizer

ABOUT THE SPEAKERS
Dr. Julius Grund completed his master’s degree in psychology at the University of Leipzig. Since October 2017, he has been working as a research assistant at the Institut Futur and is part of the team responsible for the national monitoring of education
for sustainable development in Germany. In 2025, he completed his doctoral degree (Dr. rer. nat.) on the role of emotions in sustainability education and is currently training in psychotherapy with a focus on cognitive behavioral therapy.
Emma Marzi has academic and practical expertise in degrowth, societal movements, and political ecology. Spain, Sweden, England, and Italy are among the countries where Emma has researched strategies to access, defend, and recover abandoned land, conducted
farm- and artivism projects, and developed educational materials and events. Emma organizes degrowth and queer ecology festivals (Alt Shift Festival and Licheni Festival) and contributes to visual art projects (Common Ground EU) that support sustainable rural
futures and post-growth imaginaries.
