The need for a clear cultural identity seems to be comprehensible in a world where everything is globally dependent upon each other. But is this so clearly demonstrable? The French philosopher François Jullien states that the nature of culture is change. Customs, traditions or a shared language are seen as resources that are generally available to all and which can be used in a wide variety of ways.

Tourism, grown out of the summer holidaymaking tradition in this extraordinary Alpine region, which began in the 19th century, is one of the most important lifelines in the Salzkammergut region, the place yearned for by many travelers.

Shaping the rural Alpine region in such a manner that the usual north-south divide is compensated for and supplemented, that the labor market is enriched with creative potential, that works against the emigration of young, well-educated people in order to make a life in the countryside possiblewhile still being networked and able to work globally. This means expanding mobility and digitalization, developing strategies to once again make agriculture possible as a livelihood, combine land use planning and the development of a reasonable construction culture, creating spaces for education and art, striving for sustainability in all areas within the Salzkammergut region as well as beyond. In GLOBALOCAL – BUILDING THE NEW, the focus has been placed on thinking about the world of tomorrow and developing strategies for action as well as dealing with the points of tension between the generations. After all, it is especially the young people who are affected by the careless use of resources; this is why young people are the central group being addressed when it comes to recognizing interim spaces for promoting the cultural and creative diversity in the rural Alpine area of the Salzkammergut region and creating the prospect of a life that is attractive for young and old alike.
