Final event 2022
October 2022
7-9 october, Bern / Switzerland
This year’s edition of YOALIN found a perfect finish in the beautiful city of Bern. More than 50 Yoalin travellers, ambassadors and organisers came together to explore the city, talk about their experiences during the summer and to discuss important topics like mobility and climate protection. We had loads of fun and games, great talks and exchanges and good food and thank especially the Swiss Federal Office for Spatial Development (ARE) for co-organising and hosting the event.

Over 50 Yoalin travellers and ambassadors met from Friday to Saturday In Landeck to get to know each other, learn more about the project and get some idas and inspirations for their travels. After arriving and having dinner on Friday evening, Stephan Tischler from CIPRA Austria / university of Innsbruck gave an input on Mobility in the Alps, folowed by a lively discussion. Saturday morning the organisers gave important information on the project and CIPRAs work. Then the travellers got to know each other a bit better with speed friending. After lunch people could meet at country tables to get inputs and help for their travel planning. Afterwards there was a treasure hunt through Landeck. In the evening, the governor of Tirol, Günther Platter, handed over the 50 Yoalin tickets, which they sponsored, at the ARGE ALP festivities in the city centre.
