The UN sustainability goals she promotes:
Ensure inclusive, equitable and quality education and promote opportunities for lifelong learning for all (SDG 4)

Juliane Seyfert studied education and landscape ecology. During her studies, she campaigned for more sustainability and founded the FabLab, a project that aimed to rethink consumption and usage routines in the field of fashion. For the past six years, the St. Gallen resident has been working in the field of nature and education. As a leader of forest playgroups and later director and adult educator of Waldkinder St. Gallen, she raises awareness and inspires people of all ages for nature topics - always in the conviction that early access to nature has a decisive influence on the use of natural resources. Together with a colleague, she is planning a book publication on nature education and nature ethics.
