In Estonia, the project unfolded as a journey through time and knowledge, bringing together traditional wisdom and modern innovation to explore new ways of coping with climate anxiety. The activities provided a unique perspective on sustainability, ecological awareness, and well-being, encouraging participants to reflect on their connection with nature and the impact of human choices.

The experience began with a visit to the Estonian Business and Innovation Agency, where participants were introduced to the green transition in the business sector. The discussions centered on how companies are shifting towards more sustainable models, reducing their environmental footprint, and integrating ecological principles into their operations. The conversations continued at the University of Tartu, where the focus was on problem-solving through digital product management and design thinking. The idea of applying innovation to real-world environmental challenges opened new perspectives on how modern technology can be leveraged for a more sustainable future.

​

A deeper connection to nature was explored through organic farming practices, as participants visited local eco-food producers. The emphasis was not only on how food is grown but on the journey it takes before reaching our tables. The discussions touched on the importance of soil health, sustainable agricultural techniques, and the impact of industrial food production on the environment. The experience of seeing firsthand how small-scale organic farms operate added a practical dimension to the broader conversations about climate responsibility and mindful consumption.

​

Amid these experiences, moments of self-reflection and emotional awareness were also encouraged. A creative workshop provided space to explore eco-anxiety as a concept, allowing participants to process their thoughts and emotions through artistic expression. This introspective approach was complemented by a return to ancestral traditions, emphasizing the role of self-attunement and inner peace in maintaining resilience in a rapidly changing world. Through this, the idea of using traditional practices as tools for coping with environmental stress took on new meaning.

​

As the activities drew to a close, all the experiences and insights were brought together in a final workshop. Here, the connections between climate change, eco-anxiety, and the green transition were made more tangible, as participants reflected on how the knowledge gained throughout the mobility could be translated into meaningful action. The blend of modern problem-solving and traditional wisdom demonstrated how different approaches to sustainability can coexist and complement one another, shaping a more balanced and thoughtful response to the challenges of our time.
