Satellite event: Climate walk: steps towards a greener Brașov

Sunday September 8 from 16:00 we invite you to a climate walk where we aim to bring together the community of children, young people and adults close to environmental issues in a family friendly walk.

"A climate walk is recommended by the European Climate Pact as a handy tool for civic activation and information on environmental issues. We propose to lay the foundations of the first such walk in which to identify islands of urban resilience at the level of the city of Brașov and gather the community around the good things that we want preserved and extended throughout the city", says Sabina Baciu, director of CULMEA: Film and environmental education.

"Street Delivery is a manifesto for face-to-face human interaction, not bar to bar. We believe that every citizen has the right to enjoy a friendlier, smarter, greener and livelier city and that streets are made for people We believe that a working tool like the Climate Walk will help us to activate the local community more often in the future on various urban issues that concern us all."  Timea Honț, Cărtureşti Foundation
