Next Step is one of the partners in Ycity 2009. It’s a Swedish organisation working with youth and education on sustainable development, and they do workshops and lectures about suistainable development.

According to Jonas Eriksson, the leader of Next Step, we need to promote a sustainable development, that links ecology and economy. We are facing some big global challenges, and we need to think about, what we want to do with these challenges. What is the next step?

He thinks that Ycity is a great project, because it’s a free space for rethinking the future. You get the opportunity to link your personal engagement with a global perspective. And it’s not just about talking – you acutally have to do some concrete actions in Ycity.

Jonas Eriksson will take part in Ycity as a ressource person and will help linking the different projects in Ycity with each other and with a global perspective.
