12th of September 2009

Elevate is presenting the biggest event of the ENERGY UNION Tour in Austria at the 12th of September in Graz. With an exciting programme, which takes place at the infamous Dom im Berg venue inside the Schlossberg hill in the center of Graz, local respirable dust problems are being debated as well as new options for environmentally friendly mobility. The Styrian capital Graz has the highest respirable dust values of all Austrian cities. The programme is including workshops, a filmscreening and a big panel discussion. Therefore the mayor of Graz, Siefgried Nagl, appears as well as vice-mayor Lisa Rücker, the Styrian councillor for environment Manfred Wegscheider and Brigitte Schicho from the environmental organisation „Klimabündnis Steiermark“. They will give answers and discuss the dangerous situation in Graz. A further highlight is the live performance of Coldcut from London.
