Learning Journeys and Being Spaces for a Sustainable Future ((d)unaVision)
Start date: Mar 14, 2013,

The project “dunaVision – the Caravan of Change” is a journey along the Danube, from the source of the river in the Black Forest to the Black Sea. On foot or bicycle, or in a canoe – in six months, the journey will cover 14 countries and 3.000 miles.Its aim is to “identify and connect many individual people as well as initiatives and projects, which are working towards a sustainable future. Most of them are not well connected with each other and therefore re-invent the wheel; secondly, civil society often doesn’t know about these projects; but a sustainable development in the Danube region needs the support of all.The organizers see themselves as open-minded, future-oriented people, who want to create a sustainable future in the Danube region. “We want to meet inspiring people and learn about inspiring projects, we want to connect and learn from each other. Anybody is welcome to come along on this journey.”Approximately every two weeks, forums are organized along the way. These are networking events during which workshops are held, and local initiatives and regional concepts are presented.The “Caravan of Change” starts on March 15, 2013, at the source of the Danube and ends September 8, 2013, at the Black Sea. The dates of the planned forums as well as the individual stages of the journey have been posted on the dunaVision website. The “Caravan of Change” will move through Austria in May. Idea and Vision of dunaVision The dunaVision initiative is about visioning and creating the future society. We vision an environment where living, working and learning with other like-minded people is fulfilling and fun. We believe that individual people are the source of change. We can and will support our governments and organizations on their efforts for a sustainable development. Our aim is to develop a vital network of like-minded people so that we can all learn from each other about how to create a sustainable future and become active together. A major objective is the vision of an open, boundless co-creation of our sustainable presence and future living, learning and working. This opens up the opportunity to work together on an equal level based on a cross-generational, cross-cultural and cross-sectorial approach. We need all of you as learning partners, we need you to demonstrate to the world, that there are more people who long for the transformation of values and behaviors, we need you for the co-creation and transformation of our society! Please come and join us!dunaVision – the Caravan of Change 2013The Caravan of Change full of open minded, future oriented and curious people is moving from March 15th to September 8th from the source of the Danube in the Black Forest, to the Danube Delta at the Black Sea. Core questions during our journey are: How do we want to live, work and learn in future? How can the Danube region be developed in a sustainable way? What is eco-social entrepreneurship and how can it support development in a sustainable way?

This year it has organized the "Vision Walk" – a learning journey through two national parks in Macedonia. These events brought people from the Danube and Balkan Region together to work on a common vision and activities for a sustainable future. Its results will flow into the follow-up "100 day – unaVision lab 2014/2015". The plan is to establish a network of unaVision Being Spaces, which are incubators for the sustainable development of the society in the Danube Region.
