2. Online Meeting

Day 2 – our discussions are getting on deeper level. Today‘s topic was why many Europeans lost connection to Europe. We‘ve saw and heard how European identity is being defined by philosopher Jürgen Habermas, how many people feel European in Europe and which factors determine your identity. It was hard to give a clear picture…

Fifty years later, we are still trying to reach places that seem impossible to be reached. However,…

DAY 6: MAKE REALITY SEXY AGAIN

Last night we haven’t slept much – we had to be awake and do the anchor shifts. Since we weren’t in a harbor, we had to take care of our boat not just sailing away from the bay. That was exhausting, but again gave us a time to reflect. After being awake for almost the…

DAY 5: SHIT HAPPENS

Today’s sailing was one of the longest. It took us 8 hours to get to the Island of Symi. This was a good time to reflect since the notion of time was no longer a constraint.  After finally arriving to Panormitis, at the Island of Symi, for the first time there was no harbour. We…
