Rebel power past and present: what can we learn from energy transition pioneer EWS

Free entry

Doing business differently, of course, but how? The electricity rebels from Schönau made history when they took over the local electricity grid from the local monopolists in the 1990s in order to steer the energy supply in a more sustainable and fairer direction. A citizens' initiative became the most unusual energy supplier in the country - with particularly committed and far-reaching goals - how do you keep the flame burning to this day? If you want to encourage people to take matters into their own hands, what is important? We cordially invite you to join us to reflect on change and design processes and to get ideas for your own initiatives. - Registration required.
