Niemand, der nach Alpbach kommt, wei\u00df, was einen hier erwartet. Es ist schwer, diese Erfahrung in Worte zu fassen. Das ist der Versuch, das Europ\u00e4ische Forum Alpbach durch kleine, allt\u00e4gliche Ausschnitte zu beschreiben.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aufwachen mit wundersch\u00f6ner Aussicht. Ein Aperitivo mit der Euregio. Eine kleine 4er-WG. 150 Kn\u00f6del und 8 Kilo Kn\u00f6delbrot mit dem Club Alpbach Trentino, zubereitet f\u00fcr den International Bazar, auf dem alle Nationalit\u00e4ten ihr Land und ihre Spezialit\u00e4ten vorstellen. Der erste Seminartag: 40 neue Gesichter, ein Lebenslauf beeindruckender als der andere. Das Haus Barbara, unsere Unterkunft. Ein Stille-Post-Spiel, bei dem wir kl\u00e4glich versagen. \u201eDas rote Pferd\u201c im Shuttlebus. Vegetarischer Hotdog beim V\u00fcrstlstandl. Kaffeepausen (Darf sich diese Pl\u00f6rre \u00fcberhaupt Kaffee schimpfen?), in denen man sich gef\u00fchlt mit der ganzen Welt unterh\u00e4lt. Br\u00fctende Hitze. Spritztouren mit unserem Golf Cart. Junge Menschen, die die Welt wirklich ver\u00e4ndern wollen und den Optimismus nicht verloren haben. Eine fuchsrot gestreifte Katze, die wir am liebsten adoptieren wollen. Mittelm\u00e4\u00dfige \u00f6sterreichische Pizza: viel zu teuer, aber manchmal muss es einfach schnell gehen. Gespr\u00e4che \u00fcber das \u201eThrive Festival\u201c zum Female Empowerment in S\u00fcdtirol. Ein Maskottchen namens Streuner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was sich besonders einpr\u00e4gt, ist, wie schnell eine Gruppe von Fremden zu einer Gemeinschaft zusammenwachsen kann. Bei unserer Ankunft vor einer Woche hatten wir uns alle nur ein einziges Mal gesehen. Jetzt reden wir so miteinander, als ob wir uns ein ganzes Leben lang gekannt h\u00e4tten. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Das ist Alpbach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cenare tutti insieme. Ballare sudati sulle casse nella Festh\u00fctte a Inneralpbach. La musica \u00e8 assordante, ma l\u2019atmosfera \u00e8 comunque contagiosa. Un buddy club dell\u2019Iraq. Una performance sull\u2019arte della spontaneit\u00e0. Scansionare un codice QR per una connection nell\u2019app di EFA. Una ragazza armena che sta disperatamente cercando protezione solare e doposole nel supermercato. Ci chiede il nostro aiuto e il giorno dopo ci ricambia il favore procurandoci dei piatti di cartone durante l\u2019international bazar. La cerimonia inaugurale del forum, dove l\u2019entusiasmo per il progetto \u00e8 tangibile in tutta la sala. Le stesse domande in continuazione (Oh, where do you come from? What is your background?). I nostri badge, senza i quali \u00e8 impossibile accedere agli eventi. Yoga mattutino alle 7 con un rappresentante delle forze armate austriache. Il calendario dell\u2019Etiopia dove al momento siamo nel 2015 e l\u2019anno inizia il 1\u00b0 settembre. Un braccialetto come regalo con la bandiera della Romania. Un fireside chat sulla disobbedienza civile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Durante uno dei pochi giorni senza un travolgente programma, decidiamo di andare a nuotare nel lago di Reith. Nelle ore pi\u00f9 calde del pomeriggio prendiamo il bus e la nuotata porta la rinfrescata desiderata. Dopo una settimana impegnativa di seminari e input continuo, questa piccola pausa \u00e8 proprio quello che ci serve per ridarci l\u2019energia per i prossimi giorni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Questo \u00e8 Alpbach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Krautinger at 2:30 a.m. (it really doesn\u2019t taste good; you only want to try it once and never again). Redistribute extinction. Meeting strangers on a gondola. Dancing to \u201c99 Luftballons\u201d at Jakober. A climate protest against the East African Crude Oil Pipeline in Uganda and Tanzania. Ukrainians talking about their daily life in light of the Russian aggression. During this, an alarm goes off on one of their phones, indicating that a bombing is happening right this second. Moderating during the talent forum. Being outside of your own comfort zone. A heated discussion about solar geoengineering. Experiencing JOMO (Joy Of Missing Out). Writing an article for salto.bz. Dried cabbage, dates, and mopane worms from Zimbabwe at the international bazar. Three pitches for a better future in the EU: obligatory civic education in schools, civic time-off for employees or lowering the voting age to 16?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Iraqi buddy club lent us their virtual reality glasses. Using them, we were able to experience an overwhelming VR journey about the Yezidi genocide by the Islamic State. In the background, I can hear the other club members playing cards and laughing. I, on the other hand, am completely cut off from their reality. Through multiple picture frames, I completely immersive myself in this surreal experience and the story that is told. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Broadening your horizon. Meeting inspiring people. Acquiring knowledge. Making connections. Living unforgettable moments. Experience a sense of community and purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
