“Every Job is Green” – BOOM Camps Want to Excite Young People About Future Jobs “How will I live and work in 2030? Which products and services will be needed in the future and how can these be designed sustainably? Will there still be the same jobs in 2030? What skills will I need in the future?” The CSCP is about to explore these and other questions with teenagers and young adults in the upcoming BOOM holiday camps. In January 2019, our new project „BOOM – Berufsorientierung und grüne Jobs mal anders” (career orientation and green jobs with a new perspective) started! Central to the BOOM project will be various holiday camps for teenagers and young adults where participants can explore future jobs in the fields of “daily consumption and product design”, “energy and mobility”, “building and housing” and “food and agriculture”. In the BOOM holiday camps, participants will experience societal trends and challenges. These will include digitalisation, changing consumption trends or new work and reflect on how these trends affect their own lifestyles and envisioned future work. Using different creative workshop formats, such as design-thinking, personas and role-play, the CSCP – together with the project partners Provadis GmbH and Sportjugend Hessen e.V. – will facilitate a journey into the future, where participants can explore sustainability aspects along the value chain and understand the interlinkages between sectors and professions. During the BOOM holiday camps, participants will be able to try out different craft professions such as carpentry, mechanical and electrical engineering or baking. Together with professionals from various backgrounds, they will, for instance, build solar panels and wind turbines, straw bale houses and clay stoves or design and create their own sustainable products. Along the guiding principle “every job is green”, the participants of the BOOM holiday camps will start to understand sustainability as a key aspect in every profession and as an opportunity for their own career pathways. The BOOM project will run for four years and is funded by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, European Social Fund and Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection.
