Julia Dumsky – That's how she rolls

What makes you laugh?

Julia Dumsky: Black humor

What have you always been wanting to do and why have you never done this so far?

Julia Dumsky: Paragliding. It hasn't happened yet. But I would dare.

You have the chance to become the Commissioner for the Disabled. What would you do first?

What is especially near and dear to you?

Julia Dumsky: Nature and its preservation. Human rights for all people without exception, not only in writing, but also in living and consistently enforcing them at all levels without cost-benefit considerations! Cooperation instead of competition!

I would like to be ...

Julia Dumsky: a bird.

Which question would you like to be answered the most?

Julia Dumsky: Will it still be possible to mitigate the drastic consequences of anthropogenic climate warming and thus preserve the basis of our human life for the future?

What I still wanted to say...
