Wonderful, finally the "magic compositions" of the collaboration projects were sent around the world. They have grown out of experiences, knowledge, discussions, ups and downs, friendships and - out of what cannot be grasped in words...

Now The Horse has arrived and the journey is complete. The logins are open for viewing, but no more can be produced.
Hereby I thank all participants for their valuable effort and their contribution to the big picture!
Good luck and best wishes,

This project will be based mostly on documentaries that can be found on Youtube. I already know that there will be no final answer to the question of what the world would look like without us humans. After all, we speculate a lot and how it would actually look, it will only be known if it comes so far that no humans are left in the world.
However, in the context of this project, the individual processes, how the world would look like without us, will be described in more detail. That means, the project will show how it would look like in the first days, in the first weeks and in the first years.
With a planned survey the young people as well as to the old ones are supposed to think about what a big influence we humans have in fact, which animals have already died due to us and whether the future brings something good with it. This evaluation will be a part of this project.
Vision
I think in the future it would be bad to travel if we don't take enough care to our environment. If we don't take action now, our future doesn't look really bright when you believe in the statistics which were made by scientists. But everybody wants a future where the children can grow up safely. We have to start now because it's too late if we start in 10 years.
Imagination
My imagination is, that there is a world where you can travel sustainable and don't use plastic anymore which is extremly bad for the environment. The aim in the near future is, that plastic waste will be reduced to a minimum so that we don't see so much waste in the nature.
I think in the future a Vegan or Vegetarian lifestyle is going to gain in popularity even more. We can't deny the fact that the trend is increasing more and more. People are getting more mindful when it comes to our nutrition. They are paying more attention on the labels and if it is good for the environment. Since our nutrition has a big impact on the environment I think it's important that a change is made. Companies should improve the way their food is produced. And I think that is what's going to happen in the near future.
My Vision:
I think sustainable tourism will be more and more important in the future. We have to take care of our environment, otherwise travelling is no longer possible.
The current problem lies in the higher prices. The hotels that are sustainable are usually associated with higher prices. This discourages tourists, as the need is usually for the lowest possible prices.
Imagination:
I can imagine that the trend of sustainable travel can be spread through influencers and social media to attract more customers.
Research:
The interview with Kallaya also revealed that the demand is definitely there, however, I think with the evaluations a relatively positive result can be understood. Nevertheless, the corona virus has some aspects to it, which could have productive or negative consequences. in my opinion, however, I think that this could develop well.
Before the experience of the heart project
Through the topic "log cabins", people are encouraged to think. The results of the survey will be very varied, as everyone has their own idea of what a home should be.
But this makes it exciting and we can let the different views be reflected and then think about which aspect we find best.
The contact with Canada brings us closer to the people who invented this "project" of log cabins and are already living it.
We can also learn more about the construction, as we have a contact in Switzerland. It is a company that builds such log cabins here in Switzerland.

It's all about communication and collaboration across cultures, across borders,
in the context of a "real life" project.
