It is our pleasure to invite you to the upcoming workshop organized by German Sparkassenstiftung in Kosovo in cooperation with Kosovo Banking Association: “How do we shape our future?” A workshop on Green Economy and Green finance for young people.
This workshop is part of the “Empowering Finance” Campaign activities. It will be facilitated by our expert: Dr. Tobias Peylo. He is Professor of Business Administration and Finance. His research and teaching focuses on green finance, sustainability management and risk management. At the same time, in cooperation with German Sparkassenstiftung for international cooperation, he designs tools in the context of green finance and implements them in international projects together with banks and central banks.

Workshop Outline
Water is becoming scarce in many countries while other countries experience flood after flood, wildfires are destroying huge areas, heat is constantly breaking new records: what should be exceptional is increasingly becoming the norm. And this presents mankind with major challenges - because climate change has just begun. And if it is to be stopped, we need to act quickly and decisively.
But what form can this action take? While each individual can and should make a contribution on a small scale, it quickly becomes transparent that much more is needed: a transformation of society, but above all of the economy. We need to rethink the way we produce and which products are created. And we need to reshape the criteria we use for financial decisions. Meanwhile sometimes, often unexpectedly, we will also find that completely new business models and great opportunities arise.
In the workshop, these interrelationships will be explored with the associated basics and then discussed in their consequences - in order to then jointly address the question: "How do we shape our future?".
Participation is free of charge!
