Energy is omnipresent – but how sustainable is our use? Rising prices, energy crises and climate change show that the energy transition is not a distant vision, but an urgent task. But how do we design a sustainable energy supply? Which technologies are driving change? And what political course must be set? Five experts shed light on these questions from different perspectives. You are invited to participate in the discussion and talk to the experts. Afterwards, we will open the Grischa Energy Park with an exclusive guided tour and invite you to an aperitif together.

Experts:
- Simon Gredig, City Councillor Chur: How can sustainable urban development succeed?
- Andreas Mehli, farmer and plant operator: What does renewable energy look like in everyday life?
- Andreas Oesch, operator of the Vals heating network: Why are local energy solutions crucial?
- Regula Petersen, Swiss Federal Office of Energy SFOE: How can policymakers accelerate the energy transition?
- Fabienne Thomas, AeeSuisse: Which innovations are driving the energy transition?

Moderation: Jan van Ditzhuijzen

Organizer: University of Applied Sciences of the Grisons

"Generation Z" by booktoker Valentina Vapaux is a differentiated examination of current youth culture. What influence do influencers have, to what extent does social media shape and reinforce classic gender roles, what does the online world driven by the advertising industry really look like and how political are the Z's? It also analyzes how dating apps are changing the love and relationships of this generation and why Generation Z is seen as the "loneliest" generation.

The topics are intended to draw young readers' attention to socially relevant issues and encourage them to rethink their own, generation-typical behavior patterns and consumer behavior.

Valentina Vapaux is an author, journalist and social media creator. After internships at FOCUS magazine and the New York Times, she wrote essays, columns and poems for the English-language TITLE magazine and hosted the ARD politics podcast "Pancake Politik". In 2021, her Spiegel bestseller "Generation Z" was published by Graefe und Unzer Verlag. She studied literary writing at the Hildesheim Literature Institute and Columbia University and is currently working on her novel project.
