Tell us your story in a film!
Once upon a time …?
We want you to imagine you live in the future and tell people the story on how the battle against climate change was finally won in the beginning of the 21st century. How did people change their behaviour into a climate friendly and sustainable one? What new (or old) invention made fossil fuels obsolete? How did we decrease the consumption of resources to a sustainable level? How did we secure ecosystem services for future generations?
The GREEEN network invites you to tell us your story on climate change. Your story should consider the following principles:
- You make a time travel back to our time on earth.
- You think of a measure or occurrence – real or fictitious – instigated by people that turned out to be decisive in saving our planet:
- Which is this measure/occurrence?
- What are the effects?
- You tell us your story in a film that should be between 5-10 minutes.
Who can participate?
The competition is targeted towards 14-19 year-old students currently attending a school in Europe. Competition entries can be submitted by individuals, small groups or school classes. Up to four people per winning team will be invited to an award ceremony in Stockholm.
