Eat less meat. Take the train. Buy second-hand. Choose organic. Avoid fast fashion. Europe aims to become climate-neutral by 2050. As consumers, we are constantly told that our everyday choices can help create a greener future. But how much do our everyday choices really matter when it comes to reaching that goal? Together with philosopher Jes Lynning Harfeld , we’ll explore the possibilities and limits of individual responsibility in Europe’s green transition. How much responsibility lies with you – and how much with businesses and politicians? Can technology solve our problems, or do we need to rethink what makes a good life? Live concert with Gorgeous The evening continues with a concert by Gorgeous . The Copenhagen-based band is known for songs such as ‘Divine’, ‘Nothing Was Perfect’ and ‘Coyote’. In 2024, they released their debut album ‘EXP’, blending indie pop with country, folk and dreamy Americana. The album was named one of the best Danish albums of the year by GAFFA. The event will be held in English. ___ ECHO: Free Talk + Live Concert with Gorgeous Folkeuniversitetet og Studenterhus Aarhus inviterer dig til en gratis aften med en spændende talk og en koncert med det danske indiepopband Gorgeous.

Spis mindre kød. Tag toget. Køb genbrug. Vælg økologisk. Undgå fast fashion. Europa har som mål at blive klimaneutralt i 2050. Som forbrugere får vi hele tiden at vide, at vores valg i hverdagen kan være med til at skabe en grønnere fremtid. Men hvor stor betydning har vores valg i hverdagen for, om vi når det mål? Sammen med filosof Jes Lynning Harfeld undersøger vi mulighederne og begrænsningerne ved det individuelle ansvar i Europas grønne omstilling. Hvor meget ansvar ligger hos dig – og hvor meget hos virksomhederne og politikerne? Kan teknologien løse vores problemer, eller er vi nødt til at gentænke, hvad det gode liv egentligt er?

I 2024 udgav de debutalbummet EXP, der blander indiepop med country, folk og drømmende americana. Albummet blev af GAFFA fremhævet som et af årets bedste danske album. Arrangementet foregår på engelsk
