"Borkum relies on tourism, impacting both its economy and residents. Without it, locals may seek mainland jobs, leaving their home-island. While there are advantages, the continuous arrival of people presents difficulties for the local inhabitants. One focus of my project: building community through new activities, uniting tourists and locals amid the island's beauty and history, for connections in daily life and vacations."
