8 9 Greetings from Federal Minister Leonore Gewessler "Living Consciously - Giving Future" has been PILGRIM's motto for 20 years, focussing on a sustainably secure future. A future in which biodiversity is intact and healthy vegetables still grow in the fields. Fresh air, clear water and clean energy. It is worth standing up for this vision of a promising coexistence. We know what it will take to realise this future. We need to move away from fossil fuels and high-risk energy sources and towards renewables. We need to build wind turbines and install solar power systems on our roofs. We must have the courage to stand by our convictions and come together to change our society for the better. An initiative thrives on the commitment that each and every individual can bring to the table. In the International Education Network PILGRIM, many people are actively involved in sustainability projects to develop a society viable for the future; they give their time, their commitment, their energy, ultimately a piece of their Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology Images © left: Johann Hisch, right: BMK / Perwein heart, for a future worth living and an understanding for one another. Within the network, 314 schools, parishes, associations and groups worldwide are committed to sustainable development. This deserves respect and recognition. I would therefore like to congratulate the PILGRIM International Education Network on this pleasing development over the last twenty years and wish it continued success in future projects, as well as a vibrant network that continues to have such a positive impact in its work towards a sustainable future.
