The Climate Crisis and Energy Quiz
We learn by playing and observing - educational game
What does energy consumption have to do with the climate crisis?
How can our daily habits affect the environment?
What small and big steps can we take to save energy and money?
The attendees of this action will discover the answers to these and other questions by playing together an environmental quiz about energy and climate change designed by the organization "Antigone"! Everyone will express their ideas and suggestions for a sustainable planet!
At the same time, the Energy Community River organization will hold a workshop on what an Energy Community is and how to create one, which will appeal to all ages. Participants will learn about how a group (community) can produce energy by using collaborative tools, and they will be able to get a free copy of our Foundation's publication, the guide "Building Energy Communities in Greece". This guide clarifies the operational framework of energy communities, their role in a just energy transition and provides both theoretical and practical information for their development.
The action will take place at the ActionAid Centre in Thessaloniki (7 Navarino Square, Thessaloniki). Those who attend will have the opportunity to watch a virtual reality (augmented reality) video that ActionAid filmed after a mission to Senegal, as part of the #ClimateOfChange project, in order to raise awareness about climate change and its consequences, while highlighting the need for climate justice in Greece and around the world.
