SOAK Biomimicry 2024
Summer Academy Tyrol, Austria
Futurize with us in Nature’s Learning Lab!
During SOAK Biomimicry 2024 we engaged with nature directly and learned from her genius to address pressing challenges that humanity is facing at this time, such as the climate and biodiversity crises hitting the region of Karwendel in Tyrol, in particular, the local woodlands and forests.
22 participants from 4 countries joined us in co-developing ideas and design concepts for triggering a transformation in people’s ways of thinking and behaving through Biomimicry—a philosophy and praxis for sustainable innovation inspired by Nature.
The vision of SOAK Biomimicry 2024 was a) to motivate people to integrate Nature-inspired, regenerative concepts and actions for alleviating the climate and biodiversity crises in their own lives and environments and b) to empower them to demand, initiate, and contribute to the necessary sustainability actions in their spheres of influence.
