Six thousand attend 11th Sustainability Day event
Budapest, October 2, 2018 11:00
More than six thousand people visited the Sustainability Day event organized by Magyar Telekom for the 11 th time this year, held at Akv rium Klub on Saturday.
This year's theme of the festival conference was liveliness in the context of environmental, social and economic aspects, as well as that of the individual .
In his opening speech, Andr s S. Tak cs, a member of On The Spot, explored the unlimited liveliness kids demonstrate. Why do we see the same in the eyes of Pope Francis, the Dalai Lama or Tam s V s ry? Why and how do we lose this liveliness, what can we do to get it back, and what has perseverance has to do with curiosity? The environmental panel discussed the implications of biological diversity relevant to the environment, cities and people, as well as how to exploit optimal renewing energy sources and smart climate protection solutions. In the economic session, the members discussed the drivers of a lively economy, the social conditions serving as the basis of an innovation culture, as well as the significance of the liveliness of individuals and infrastructures from startups to digital agriculture. The social panel addressed the change in how we define generations and the role they play, the impact digitalization has on social processes, as well as the role cultural diversity and the closely related cultural intelligence play in today's society. The extra panel session addressing the role of individuals returned to the initial idea of childhood liveliness in the context of parenting, as well as the support given to people with disabilities and what motivates an Olympic champion.
In course of the day, the conclusion was drawn that the main driver behind all of these topics is communities. In today's world, it is essential that people find jobs or hobbies that they like, and what is more important, establish or join communities that support the whole society.
In addition to the professional panels, more than 40 organizations erected stands awaiting those interested in the cause of sustainability. Visitors of the exhibition space were invited to explore renewing energy systems, fashion products made of recycled materials, interactive educational programs aimed to increase kids' awareness about sustainability, technological developments, as well as trendy and innovative solutions. Members of the audience were asked to cast their votes on which organizations' programs were most to their liking. At the end of the day the best exhibitor awards went to NEO Hungarian Service Dog Association, Meixner School, and DELFIN Award winner J v ko-Nemzed ke (Future Eco-generation) Foundation.
The 11 th Sustainability Day event also hosted the award ceremony of the creative contest launched in the summer. The theme question What makes you tick? inspired many to compete, and a professional jury selected the best of the works. The first place in the Creative category went to the work of Janka S ra Bal zs titled #metoo . In the Film category, Gergely Csorba's And you, do you tick? came in first. The slam titled RESILIENCE performed by Dia Smith, Ketlin Smith, Cintia Farkas, No mi Szalai, M rk Selyem, Patrik Horv th, Krist f Horv th, Edmund Mizzo Ol h and B lint T th was selected as the best of the Music/slam category. The clip that served as a basis for the song was created by Fl ra Chilton. The most visitor votes and thus the Audience Award went to Istv n Koll r's creative project called The price of civilization . The winning projects are accessible to view on the Sustainability Day website.
As a token of recognition, prizes were also handed out to members of the press who had addressed the topic of sustainability in the form of articles, blog posts, radio or television shows, thus drawing the public's attention to the issues impacting our lives and environment. In the blog category, the prize went to R ka Nagy, the author of koanyu (eco-mum) blog. In the (printed/online) article category, Bea Belicza received the prize, while in the television/radio/video content category, reporter D vid Czwick was selected by the jury to win the prize. The joint Press Award of the Sustainability Media Club and Magyar Telekom was handed over by Magyar Telekom's Head of PR, Istv n Kutas.
The 11 th Sustainability Day event was concluded by a fantastic Anna & the Barbies concert and a vibrant after-party featuring JumoDaddy and Wonda.
