Nok en gang står sommerferien for tur for de aller fleste av oss. Den inntreffer like plutselig og kjærkomment som alltid. Vi ser frem mot noen «bonusdager» der vi kan gi hodet og kroppen en velfortjent pause fra hektiske hverdagsaktiviteter og arbeidsliv. Vi gjør oss ferieklare til dager uten de faste rammene, men tar allikevel med oss de gode «grønne rutinene» for å ta vare på miljøet, uansett hvor i verden sommeren måtte tilbringes. Det handler om å komme tilbake uthvilt, ha omsorg for hverandre, bygge positive opplevelser og gode minner. Alt med visshet om at man har tatt ansvar også i ferietiden for å sikre en bærekraftig fremtid.

It's a fast-paced development, new things come up week by week. It can be academic, as well as collegial and social.
