I have a deep passion for sustainability. I
try aim to live sustainably and enjoy the personal qualities that come along with a sustainable way of life.
And But also outside of my
sustainability club, \textit{sustainability club}, in the lives of the common people, I notice an increasing relevancy for \textit{green growth} and \textit{socially fair} conditions. However, many people are hampered or struggle with adopting more sustainable practices in their day to day life. Why is this so? And what can I do as a current
master student Master Student of Sustainable Development to help these people successfully overcoming their individual challenges?
Throughout the first year of my studies, courses such as on \textit{Energy and Material Efficiency} or
\textit{Environmental and Material Policy} contributed to a better understanding of the technical and institutional side of sustainable development.
And aside Aside the classroom,
my the practical involvement in a number of voluntary initiatives allowed me to explore my interest in urban transitions, grassroots initiatives and the promotion of sustainable
lifestyles and innovations. lifestyles. But they also help me to
explore reflect on who I am:

\textit{An advanterous young man who sees himself in an experimental playground for the bettering of the life conditions of the people around him}

At the moment I
am spending my have devoted this year's semester vacations to cycle through France, Germany and Czech Republic to visit sustainability communities. I am fascinated by their straightforward bottom-up approach and want to help sharing the success factors of their developments\footnote{I am sharing my experiences in form of storylines. An example is the community supported agriculture (CSA) initiative in the Southwest of Paris: https://medium.com/susvoice-showcasing-sustainability/community-supported-agriculture-in-the-region-of-gif-sur-yvette-219ea65d76c9}.
These encounters
made showed me
believe that there is a lot of the large transformative potential within people and small communities. They have achieved a more balanced state within a certain domain, and allow us to learn from their living labs. They are admirable front-runners in that they are willing to fundamentally change their behaviour despite the currently still prevailing
difficulties. difficulties and discomforts.
I am excited about the great challenge lying ahead of mankind that asks for my and everyone else's
contribution. contribution, to bridge practical experiences with scientific research. And I am very enthusiastic to work together with other passionate people in
situations projects such as offered by the $6^{th}$ Sustainability Summer School, on exploring the dynamical trias of individuals, behaviour and sustainability.
