Structure of workshopsThe workshops followed a modified version of the TEIP-manual and lasted for about 2,5- 3 hours:

• Short introduction

• Individual visioning (10-15 min)

• Group visioning – idea generation on post-it notes (approx. 1 hour)

• Short brake

• Plenary presentation (approx. 1 hour)

• Summing up

Group work and idea generation

Flekkefjord:• 3 groups with 4 - 5 pupils • 17 years• 10 girls and 4 boys

Larvik:• 2 groups with 4 pupils• 17 years (one 18)• 1 girl and 7 boys

A little guidance from the teachers in both workshops.

Sustainability ? – quite unfamiliar consept

Techno-futurism

- Technology optimism based on not invented technologies

- We are making use of new resources, like raw materials from other planets, renewing water by using toilet-filters, and changing CO2 to energy

- Efficiency and mobility freedom are highly valued

Theoretical underpinning:- Science fiction2 technologies:- Non-invented and mobile3 adjectives: - Unrealistic, high-tech and mobileFood: - «Functional», e.g., on tubesMobility: - Free use of high-tech mobility

modesHousing energy:- Not important

Techno-realism- Technological optimism based on both new and

well known technology- People are highly mobile and there are few

restrictions on energy and resource use- The CO2 is reduced, but because of green

technology people have the same (or higher) level of consumption as today

Theoretical underpinning:- Ecological modernization of society2 technologies:- Renewable energy sources, but also nuclear-,

nano- and GMO- technologies 3 adjectives: - Technology-optimism, materialism and mobilityFood: - Production based on renewable and high tech

solutions (nano, GMO)- Distribution based on the internetMobility: - Today’s transport modes used more efficientlyHousing energy:- Smart houses are standard

Local Village

- Based on “Gemeinshaft” or "lasting values" (family, children, tradition and nostalgia) combined with current trends of “healthy life style”

- Not anti-technology- Local production and consumption- Regained control over consumptionTheoretical underpinning:- Localism, an alternative to globalisation2 technologies:- Local and renewable energy sources like wind and

solar energy3 adjectives: - Local, nostalgic, and embedded Food: - If possible, produced locally or by the households

themselves (in gardens, on roofs)Mobility: - Cheap and easely accessible public transport - Cycle lanes and footpathsHousing energy:- solar panels on house roofs, terrestrial heat etc.

Post-materialism- Based on the idea of changing lifestyle in order to

save resources both at the local and global level - Fair global sharing of resources - Critique of capitalism

- Nostalgic- Limitations in the use of natural resources- Regulation of consumption and productionTheoretical underpinning:- Post-materialism (Inglehart, 1970s)2 technologies:- Existing technology- Not concerned about the technology development3 adjectives: - Nostalgic, organic, and moralisticFood: - Reduced meat consumption- Increased consumption of vegetarian and organic

food- Emphasises healthy food, also for fast foodMobility: - Restricted car useHousing energy:- Improved isolation and reduction of windows- Avoid unnecessary use of electricity in houses

General observations of the workshops

A strong technological optimism was observed in both workshops

The main argument was that we will continue or improve current lifestyles, but with use of significant lower energy use and CO2 emmision

But there were also some ideas related to the aim of changing life styles through locally embedded and reduced level of consumption and production

Chaning Lifestyles post-materialismHousing / energy (1) Housing / energy (2) Food Fair distribution (1)

Increased durability of products Use warmer clothes indoors in order to save electricity

More durable food (less waste) (1) 

Poorer countries must learn about the environment

No more plastic bags and disposable tableware

Fewer and smaller windows in every room

Eat vegetarian and organic (1) Peace on earth 

Ban on timber (mahogany etc.) from the rainforest

Use firewood instead of electricity

More healthy fast food (1) 

The goal must not be to get rich on energy development, but a better world
