As part of the field teaching in the Business Ethics & Corporate Social Responsibility course, a group of foreign Erasmus students studying at VERN during the summer semester visited the lectures on ecology and sustainability at this year's Greencajt festival.
Accompanied by our professor M.Sc. sc. Gordane Ćorić, our foreign colleagues attended the following program contents:
- the lecture "Waste is a failure of imagination " by Douglas McMaster , founder and manager of the first zero-waste restaurant Silo in London;
- to the panel "FEEDING THE FUTURE: What we serve on the plate for future generations", after which they spoke with the founder of AGRIVI, Matija Žulje ;
- and a lecture by fashion designer Marina Spadafore entitled " The revolution starts with your closet!" .
„Potrebno je osmisliti kreativna rješenja i imati hrabrosti slijediti ih. Baš poput Douglasa McMastera. Ova terenska nastava se pokazala kao prava riznica znanja, počevši od inspirativnog osnivača zero-waste restorana koji nam je pružio dragocjeni uvid u održive prakse u prehrambenoj industriji, pa sve do fascinantnog razgovora s osnivačem AGRIVIja koji pomaže poljoprivrednicima diljem svijeta kako bi digitalizirali proizvodne procese i povećali učinkovitost. Baš te njihove inovacije su nam otvorile mnoga pitanja i poglede na ekološku odgovornost i tehnološki napredak“, rezimirao je Robin Flynn Oechsle, Erasmus student iz Njemačke.
