    • 2021 January 23, “Sprechstunde für die eigenen Visionen: In Olten wird ein Zukunftbureau eröffnet”, in Aargauer Zeitung:
      Der geplante Eröffnungsapéro musste aufgrund der Coronakrise virtuell abgehalten werden. […] Die während des Apéro präsentierte Grundidee eines Zukunftbureaus klingt zuerst etwas absurd. Menschen sollen ihre Ideen, Visionen und Projekte ins Büro bringen und dieses zwei Stunden später mit einem klaren Blick in die Zukunft und voller Motivation wieder verlassen.
