Team
Jörg Tremmel
Managing director of the FRFG
Jörg is responsible for the scientific journal of the FRFG (Intergenerational Justice Review), the Intergenerational Justice Award, and the Walkshops of the FRFG. The main idea of the Walkshops is an expansion of knowledge can be fostered through physical movement (thus the combination of the words “workshop” and "walk" = "Walkshop"). Participants are meant to absorb facts and understand concepts through auditory learning materials over several days while hiking through nature. The previous Walkshops took place on the topics "Climate crisis" (110 km) and "Coal phase-out" (44 km), "Search for a final storage site for nuclear waste" (40 km) and "Social security" (38 km).
