TJD-Conference: Living Sustainability with Joy and Satisfaction

The Jena Declaration conference for asia “Living sustainability with joy and satisfaction” gathers the perspectives of project partners from Asia. The Jena Declaration emphasizes the need to integrate sustainability through joy and fulfillment. Local initiatives demonstrate that sustainable actions can strengthen communities, revive traditions, and enhance quality of life. Sustainability is not an obligation but an opportunity for a more fulfilling life rooted in solidarity and shared joy. Joy is more than just pleasure – it embodies self-efficacy, confidence, respect, pride, meaning, trust and friendship. By reimagining sustainability through the lens of joyful imagination and practice, this conference seeks to highlight joy as a catalyst for solidarity and self-organization, ultimately enriching sustainability.

The online conference is coordinated by the UNESCO-Chair Global Understanding for Sustainability, Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena. Dial in is possible at any time (see program).
