The answer to almost everything: Responsibility | PLZ65
The answer to almost everything: Responsibility | PLZ65
Those who take responsibility serve themselves and others. Responsibility is the highest form of giving that makes us fulfilled and successful.
As entrepreneurs and managers, we are regularly confronted with unexpected challenges. Be it due to market changes, technological developments or personnel issues. Leadership expert Ralf Kemler has also experienced this. For him, the trick is to find a way between our need for security and accepting the unpredictable. We all know situations in which we feel overwhelmed. It is precisely in these moments that it is important to bring order back into our lives. Ralf Kemler has lived through dramatic strokes of fate and is therefore convinced that responsibility allows us to make smart and decisive decisions even in the midst of uncertainty. Responsibility is the answer to almost everything.

How Renate said yes to life | PLZ10 (A)
Renate Scherr: Memoirs of a contemporary witness of National Socialism in Austria.
Renate Scherr, an important contemporary witness of National Socialist persecution, died on March 21, 2021. Renate Scherr, born in Klagenfurt in 1927, experienced a childhood full of poverty and violence. During the Nazi era, she was sent to a children’s home in Germany due to her “politically unreliable” background and her frequent changes of work, where she suffered hard labor and abuse. After several unsuccessful escape attempts and her return to Austria, she continued to struggle to survive.
After the war, she met her second husband, Norbert Scherr, with whom she lived through a loving but deprived time. Together they moved to Vienna to start a new life. Despite numerous strokes of fate, Renate Scherr always retained her optimism and unbroken will to live. Until her death, she shared her experiences from the Nazi era with younger generations.
This lecture provides an insight into the eventful life of Renate Scherr. It sheds light on the question of what we can learn for the future from this reappraisal project and the experiences described in it at Elisabethenpflege in Schönebürg, Baden-Württemberg.

A look behind the scenes at ShelterBox, Rotary’s international project partner
Turkey, Morocco, Ukraine – just three of 99 countries where ShelterBox has helped people in the aftermath of a disaster, providing shelter and essential supplies to ensure survival.
What began as a Rotary Club’s millennium project in the UK has now developed into an international, non-profit aid organization. To date, more than 2.5 million people have been supported with tailor-made emergency aid.
Over 110 million people worldwide are currently displaced, having lost their homes due to disasters such as earthquakes, floods, political conflicts or wars. Over 40% of those affected are children.

We are specialists in the field of emergency shelter and are usually among the first NGOs to provide vital aid in disaster areas. Our ability to put together highly customized aid packages, our focus on vulnerable groups and our ability to operate in remote areas of a disaster zone, as well as our concentration on only relief supplies that are essential for survival, make our work efficient and transparent.”
ShelterBox provides support in the form of tents, tarpaulins, solar lamps, tools, blankets and, in winter, warm jackets, hats and scarves.
ShelterBox gives people a roof over their heads, hope and the opportunity for a new start.
ShelterBox helps in a variety of locations, no two situations are the same. Nevertheless, whether earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis or conflicts – a roof over your head, a dry, warm place where you can sleep, prepare meals and be with your family is the first important step towards recovery after a disaster.
Since its start as a Rotary Club project in 2000, ShelterBox has become an internationally recognized, independent and charitable emergency aid organization with the support of Rotary Clubs around the world.
We are happy to offer clubs the opportunity of an individual presentation at the ShelterBox premises in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg. Here, participants have the opportunity to get a perfect overview of projects and relief supplies.
