Reading Session: Article “What Is the Environmental Crisis Telling Us?”

As part of the project Youth for Decent Work, the Common Good and the Environment, we invite all students to a reading session dedicated to exploring the key themes presented in the article What Is the Environmental Crisis Telling Us? by Izidor Ostan Ožbolt. The session will take place as a guided group discussion, where we will examine the unfolding ecological breakdown and the structural factors that shape it. At the event, we will collectively identify and reflect on the central ideas of the text—planetary boundaries, systemic drivers of environmental degradation and the deep connections between the economic system, social inequality and the climate crisis. Participants will have the opportunity to share their views, observations and questions, while we also highlight the importance of solidarity, collective action and community organising when addressing systemic environmental challenges. The main aim of the session is to encourage young people to think critically about the roots of the ecological crisis, the unequal distribution of responsibility and impacts, and the possibilities they have—both individually and as an organised community—to contribute to meaningful and just societal change. The event will offer students a space to express their opinions, exchange perspectives and deepen their understanding of the environmental crisis in its broader social context.

Climate Workshop – Decent Work and Environment

As part of the project Youth for Decent Work, the Common Good and the Environment, we invite all young people to a workshop on climate (in)justice, where we will explore the challenges that the environmental crisis brings to young people and the local community. The workshop will present key aspects of climate change, the exceeding of planetary boundaries, and the question of why we are not all equally responsible nor equally affected. The event is organised in cooperation with the initiative Youth for Climate Justice Maribor. During the workshop, we will map the most pressing local environmental and climate-related issues and reflect on how young people can organise to improve conditions in our community. Participants will have the opportunity to share their observations, experiences and ideas, while we also introduce tools for collective action that strengthen solidarity, engagement and proactive responses to systemic challenges. The main aim of the workshop is to encourage reflection on how systemic changes shape our everyday lives, what possibilities we have—both as individuals and as an organised community—to seek fair and sustainable solutions, and how we can build a greener, safer and more inclusive future. The event will be an opportunity for young people to express their opinions, raise questions and contribute to a broader discussion on climate justice.

Workshop: Mapping with students

As part of the project Youth for Decent Work, the Common Good and the Environment, we invite all students to a workshop dedicated to exploring the challenges young people encounter during their studies and compulsory practical training in the health care field. The workshop will take place at the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Maribor, and will be organised in collaboration with Polona T. Aškerc, Secretary General of the Trade Union of Health and Social Care of Slovenia. During the event, we will work together to map key issues that arise within the educational process and the broader health care system. Participants will have the opportunity to complete a short questionnaire about their experiences, observations and suggestions, while our information stand will raise awareness about the importance of solidarity, collective action and organising when addressing systemic problems. The main purpose of the workshop is to encourage reflection on the conditions of compulsory practical training, the challenges awaiting students as they enter the labour market, and the possibilities they have—both as individuals and as an organised community—to contribute to meaningful solutions. The event will provide a space for young people to share their views, exchange experiences and help deepen the understanding of students’ position within the health care sector.
