Even in the hustle and bustle of the office, Yuna is our Motivation Officer and our loyal office dog. With her joyful tail wagging and her constantly attentive gaze, she has taken the title of “office dog” to a whole new level. Yuna is our source of positive energy and relaxation. Her cheerfulness is contagious: as a motivational officer, she helps lighten the mood in the office and reminds us to take breaks. In addition to her expertise in cuddling, she is very skilled in power napping and eating cheese.
Since her childhood, Nadine Stähli has been fascinated by the diversity of nature and was repeatedly confronted with the global effects of climate change during her travels. She completed her Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Environmental Sciences at ETH Zurich and travelled to Indonesia for four months to support environmental protection projects on site. She gained her first experience in environmental education during her internship at the Jungfrau-Aletsch UNESCO World Heritage Site in Valais, where she focused on the effects of climate change in the Alpine region. She wrote her master’s thesis in northern Macedonia on the sustainable intensification of agriculture. Since August 2021, she has been accompanying the Climate Schools as project manager.
Ilona loves to be out and about in nature, and is particularly fascinated by the mountains. During her geography studies at the University of Zurich, Ilona learned a lot about the connections between natural processes and human activities. In the process, she was repeatedly confronted with the global effects of climate change and studied the topic in depth. Ilona gained her first experience in environmental education during an internship in the Swiss National Park. In her Master’s thesis, she looked at the impact of the climate strike movement on the environmental awareness and behaviour of young people in Zurich. Ilona also completed her teaching diploma for Matura schools and has taught at various grammar schools for the past two years. Ilona has been accompanying the Climate School team as project manager since June 2022.
How do children develop an awareness of their environment? For several years, Dietmar has been bringing the topics of energy+climate and waste+consumption into classrooms as an environmental teacher for Pusch. At the same time, he continues to develop the educational activities in the climate school team. Didactically, his experience from several years of leading Technorama workshops and slam lectures helps him. From a technical point of view, the physicist with a doctorate in solar cells has a broad background. Because it is important to him to reach the heads and the hearts.
After her Bachelor’s degree in International Management at the ZHAW in Winterthur, Angela worked for a long time in the education sector designing international continuing education modules. In 2015, she decided to travel to Africa and Southeast Asia. Far from Western society, she was directly confronted with the consequences of climate change and the overuse of natural resources. These experiences strengthened Angela’s commitment to nature and sustainability with her economic background. She completed an agricultural internship on an organic farm in Seuzach. Before starting as a project manager for “Every Cell Counts” (JZZ), she worked for a Swiss foundation for the implementation of sustainable agricultural projects in Côte d’Ivoire.
Thomas Fedrizzi completed an apprenticeship as a civil engineer and draftsman, obtained the Matura on the second educational path KME to become a teacher, performed various activities and foreign assignments in plant construction and development cooperation; completed an ETH degree in cultural and environmental engineering, was managing director in a solar company, completed a postgraduate degree in corporate finance; is chief financial officer in Swiss SMEs. Thomas Fedrizzi is the initiator and co-founder of the ECC project – from which the Climate School program emerged – and continues to work on a dedicated volunteer basis as a mentor and coach in the project team.
Growing up in the Bernese Jura, Esther spent a lot of time in nature, hiking, skiing and other activities. After her Matura and half a year in Bolivia, she went to Zurich to the ETH, where she began her studies in environmental sciences. This degree enabled her to deepen her knowledge of the environment and nature. Shortly before completing her Master’s degree, however, she took a break and went to Norway. There she worked for three months at an environmental organisation that cleaned the coasts and fjords of plastic and other waste. Now she has to do an internship to complete her Master’s degree, which she is doing at MYBLUEPLANET.

Felix Keller has been working as a glaciologist on the topics of permafrost, glaciers and lake ice since 1985. Soon he also became interested in specialised didactics in the environmental field and in 2005 received a lectureship in environmental didactics at ETH Zurich. Since 2015, he has been working on securing glacier masses with meltwater recycling, which could secure the existential water supply for large parts of the population in dry mountain regions in the Himalayas and the Andes. In addition to his family with three grown-up children, the violin plays an important role in his life, which he repeatedly makes sound in «ice-cold» places.

Daniel Lüscher’s heart beats for his family, climate protection and the blue planet. Growing up in the Appenzell region, he studied electrical engineering EurEta and industrial engineering SVTS in St. Gallen, ultimately to realise his childhood dream of becoming a pilot. As an airline pilot with Swissair and Swiss, he saw the beauty of the blue planet during his professional life – but also its vulnerability. In 2007, he realised that it was high time to act – which is why he founded the climate protection movement MYBLUEPLANET. Today, as president of MYBLUEPLANET, he is still passionately committed to climate protection and works part-time as a captain at WestAtlantic. Daniel Lüscher lives in Winterthur with his wife and daughter.
