A total of 13 participants attended the meeting, representing various local organizations, including the Local Agenda, ADFC, Schubart Gymnasium, and the Sustainability House in Neu-Ulm. The session began with a round of introductions, followed by an overview of Agenda 2030 and its five key principles: People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace, and Partnership. A brief explanation of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) was given to provide context for the project.
The discussion then shifted to ActionBound, with an introduction to ILEU and the international framework of the ActionBound project. An explanatory video was shown, followed by a presentation demonstrating an ActionBound example focused on SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions).
Several questions arose during the discussion, including whether ActionBound is a commercial program (confirmed as yes) and how tourists can be made aware of such initiatives. The target audience for the project was identified as individuals aged 14 and older. It was suggested that all 17 goals should be represented, but not within a single ActionBound tour, as this would make it too long. A recommended duration of approximately 1.5 to 2 hours was proposed. To encourage idea generation, small groups were formed to brainstorm collaboratively.
Participants worked in groups to identify locations of interest for the scavenger hunt. Ideas included integrating time-sensitive elements to ensure that places closed on specific days would be accounted for in the tour. The focus should be on 5-8 locations, ensuring a well-structured route. The discussion also emphasized SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 16.
Several key assignments were established:
- SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions): Identified location – Ratgasse 8
- SDG 4 (Quality Education): Meeting scheduled for March 25, 2025, at 18:30 at the Sustainability House
- Schubart Gymnasium Students: Focus on both SDG 4 and SDG 16
Additionally, those interested in further collaboration were invited to an online meeting on April 1 to continue the discussion and refine the project plan. The meeting concluded with an agreement to develop and finalize the scavenger hunt route based on the proposed locations.
