Lost in Transition? Participation as key for climate engagement
Welcome to the Speak Up event 'Lost in Transition? Participation as key for climate engagement'. The event is organized by the Speak Up project. Speak Up is a North Sea Region project aimed at governments working with citizens and vice versa. As many cities and regions are currently involved in pilots around climate transition – this is the central theme for this event.
Join us at the beautiful Lamot in Mechelen for an afternoon filled with an inspiring keynote by Teun Gautier, a talkshow and several break-out rooms where international partners (Malmö, Skive and Mechelen) will demonstrate their climate pilots during interactive workshops. Besides, there is ample room for discussion, thinking together, practical experiences and meeting with experts and talks with your peers!
See you there!
