Formerly a forced labour camp, later an abandoned ruin, then occupied by a group of punks who needed a shelter in the 1990s - today Exil e.V. is one of the last bulwarks against right-wing agitation in Eberswalde (Brandenburg). But time is working against the organisation.

Boskovice is situated forty kilometres north of Brno. The investigative local newspaper Ohlasy is published here, which is almost a rarity in today's Czech media landscape. ‘Local newspapers face similar problems to large, national newspapers, but they have far fewer resources to respond to these problems. The result is a so-called media desert, ’ says Tomáš Trumpeš, editor at “Ohlasy”.

Some people believe that there is no life outside of so-called civilisation. But it does exist, sometimes it is more complicated and brings with it a number of challenges, but it does not disappear.

From the blooming fields near Zálúčí to the ‘forest laboratory’ in Křtiny – we follow the stories of people who are transforming our landscape with their projects. They show that adaptation does not have to be a struggle for survival. It can also be an opportunity to reconnect nature, technology and human creativity. Global warming is not only a threat in these projects, but also an opportunity to create a sustainable world.
