A journey to understand the climate challenge
We make itineraries (tours, gymkhanas and other educational and recreational activities) across cities, towns and territories, around the climate emergency, to see the impacts, understand the causes and connections, and experience the solutions led by the local community.
LEARN MOREImpact and causes
Impact on the ground: we visit the areas most affected by the climate crisis, and plot the future scenarios with graphic support
Root causes: we visualize and analyze the local economy’s main sources of carbon emissions, from a systemic perspective.
Solutions
Local social economy: we plunge into the world of urban gardens, food networks and fair trade, cooperatives (energy, housing), social currencies …
Connections, intersectionality and interdependence: we connect the dots between the various socio-environmental challenges faced by a certain community and the social movements tackling them, including the one for climate action & justice
“Your action plan”: we draw the lessons learned during the itineraries, and reflect on the best strategies and concrete actions, both at individual and collective levels, to be carried out “back home”
Formats
Our physical-conceptual itineraries can take different forms depending on the place (see “Where”), participants (for all audiences), knowledge, and language. Under a cooperative philosophy, we boost the social economy by proportionately sharing revenue with all partners from the local ecosystem
