TUM: Junge Akademie

The lecture series of the Enviromental Department of the TU Student Council deals with topics of Climate Action in the summer term 2023. The lectures of the series are held in English.

Our societies idea of what a good life is needs to be questioned and re-invented. Differenciating between wealth and well-being is key, as happiness and sustainability could well fit together. The philosophical concept of ‘the art of living’ might help to overcome materialism and a well understood hedonism might also contribute to develop future lifestyles of sufficiency.

Dr. Jochen Dallmer is a political scientist and wrote his phd on the topic of ‘sustainability & happiness’. He is working as freelance facilitator and consultant on topics of sustainability, subjective well-being and education. Dallmer is based in Berlin, but likes to travel for work and leisure.

This event is part of the series "Lecture Series by the Environmental Department in the Summer Semester 2023".
