As a writer and translator, I would like to encourage the German literary/translation community to explore more sustainable models of cultural mobility (i.e. cultural exchange, reading tours, research trips, residencies etc.). I hope to begin by organizing a conference or workshop and have a contact at one of Berlin's main literature/translation institutions who is interested in the issue. Right now I'm hoping to meet people from other parts of the cultural scene who are engaged with or interested in the issue, as well as people from the sustainability scene who could offer expertise.

FuoriVia Cultural Association was born in 2016 as a legacy of a decennial project (IUAV of Venice): its aims are to promote the philosophy of walking, rediscovering historical, natural and cultural routes, and thus promoting sustainable tourism in Europe and in Mediterranean countries.
Every year the association organises a walking experience of 2 weeks for a heterogeneous group of around 45 people. The added value lays in the connection established with the local communities and institutions, those who host our big group in public facilities and campsites; at the same time, we analyse maps and study socio-cultural relations in the area of interest.
Walking is a unique way of experiencing a territory: complete for all your senses, accessible to everybody and respectful of the environment.

Over the past three years, in multiple destinations around Europe, we have been asking visitors to donate one hour of their time to helping us pick up litter in popular destinations such as Berlin, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Edinburgh, Paris and Dublin. While we normally try to entice guests to join us by offering something like a tour, beer, picnic or similar, we are always delighted to see that for most guests, the motivating factor is giving back to these cities in a positive way. Hundreds of guests have now joined, and enjoyed, these events.

Sometime ago 196 Destinations was my consumer orientated travel startup. A bucket list, with flight data coming from Skyscanner. We had a thousand or so travellers registers. We ran out of runway & I had to return to work as a technology consultant!

I have recently submitted my idea of Sustainable Tourism to "Entrepreneurship-Campus" for "The Youth Citizen Entrepreneurship Competition" which is an activity within the framework of the UNESCO Global Action Programme (GAP) on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD).

Our study asks tourists visiting Berlin how much of an increase to the existing City Tax they would be willing to pay if the funds were redistributed to environmental projects in the tourism sector.
