Finally we have reached a moment, when the Solutions local, together Conference programme is launched and the registration has started! From now on it becomes easier to explain what the conference is all about, as all the side events, praxis and the entire concept of a sustainable conference becomes a reality.
It is amazing to see the enthusiasm surrounding the topic of sustainable development at the moment. Everyone we have approached recently, has been exceptionally positive and wanted to be engaged in the process.The sustainable spirit in Turku is growing. Still there is a change to include your bit into the process or programme - so just contact us or write a comment on the blog.
Do not miss the change of being part of the conference, as places are limited! The early bird prices for individuals and groups are available when registering by the end of October 2010. All ready now several groups are being formed..

Wanted: New Fresh Ideas & Ways
Wood, metal, paper - or maybe something softer? All would allow the use of recycled material and they would also be further recyclable. On the course they had spent days on thinking and calculating what would be lucrative business to start. They had visited several fairs to get ideas but somehow most of the stalls sold the same ideas. Lucas has discussed the issue also at home and with friends, and they had given valuable comments. Hmm...
At the end it wasn't too hard to make the decision. Lucas knew what he wanted to do, and more importantly what he didn't. He also remembered the lady with inner spirit.
"We have never done anything like that before.", "It is going to cost you a lot.", "We are not interested as the amount is so small." Lucas was getting frustrated - where are all the innovative ways of thinking that our country is famous for? Do you know?

Inner spirit
Weeks had gone really quickly since the course had started. Many new issues have been thought and now it was time to transfer the new knowledge to actual work - Lucas had started his internship at the local enterprise.
The owner was a lady with a long background of working and who had seen many changes in attitudes and ways of behavior over the years. Sometimes it had been really hard to make a living and she had been near to closing down. But somehow she had kept the spirit going on and had managed to get by.
The lady told Lucas that the thing that keeps her going is the inner spirit she has for the work. This Lucas has seen many times in her when she was talking to the customers or was wondering how to solve a problem caused by an assignment. Love for the work, told the lady, was the secret. Lucas wanted to have that too in his future job what ever that was going to be, but how to get it?
