Give back to the climate with climate justice

by Lemur (Spanish)

Friday October 13th

14.30h-15.30h / Aula L

This workshop aims to raise awareness about climate injustice in our home. The workshop immerses participants in some of the experiences of migrant women from the Women’s Dialogues Association, as part of the “Don’t pel clima” project. The women in the project assessed their level of wellbeing in relation to the climate emergency at home and in the Raval neighborhood (Barcelona) where they live. The women also analysed the available and desired resources needed to generate a resilient response in their day-to-day life. During the workshop, participants will be able to reflect on the impact of the climate emergency on their own lives and establish a dialogue with the reality of migrant women.

(Non) violence and why it (isn’t) pacifism

by Spark project (English)

Friday October 13th

15.30h-16.30h / Aula L

What is violence? And non-violence? Why non-violence, instead of pacifism? And why is this relevant to activism? In this workshop we will see how the definition of violence is not as clear as it seems to us a priori, we will have the opportunity to debate about the need (or not) of non-violence in activism, and we will practice some techniques of non-violent civil disobedience to fight the climate emergency.

Artful impact: Discovering purpose and driving change

by Impact Hub (Spanish)

Friday October 13th

16.30h-17.30h / Aula L

Join Impact Hub for a transformative experience. In this workshop, participants will explore the power of deceleration as a contrasting approach to the fast-paced world of innovation. By slowing down, participants will observe, listen, and register the essence of purpose, enabling them to take meaningful action that positively impacts both people and the environment.

Low-carbon web design

by Hey Low (English)

Friday October 13th

14.30h-16.00h / Aula M

Join Nicolas Paries (founder of the digital studio Hey Low) for a journey to make web design practice more sustainable. Participants will learn about the impact of the internet and websites, how to estimate the carbon emissions of websites and identify the key factors that significantly affect its environmental impact, the benefits of the low-carbon approach and how to improve the impact of websites without sacrificing aesthetics, with real-life examples to inspire designs.

Climate Fresk

by Climate Fresk (English)

Friday October 13th

16.30h-18.00h / Aula M

The Climate Fresk is a playful and participatory science outreach workshop, with presence in more than 50 countries. The objective for participants is to understand climate change through the elements that form and influence it and to reflect together on possible solutions. The activity is organised in 3 parts: 1) reflection, 2) creativity, and 3) debriefing. The workshop is based on a set of 42 cards designed from the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) reports. Each card represents an element, a cause or a consequence of climate change. As a team, guided by the facilitator, Climate Fresk invites participants to find the cause–effect relationship between the different components of climate change. This step-by-step reconstruction provides the keys to understand the complexity and develop a global vision of climate change.

Saturday 14

How to encourage young people’s creativity and scientific vocations through STEAM methodology

(Catalan)

Saturday October 14th

10.00h-11.00h / Aula K

The Hackató CIC Bacchillerats – MIT de Massachussets is a successful project that in 2023 hosted 11 schools and 110 students from all over Catalonia. Its organisers are Ed Moriarty from MIT and Alicia Pérez, professor of TECH projects at CIC-Batxillerats. Alicia Pérez will be delivering this workshop in which she will draw from this experience to show what kinds of activities and projects can be considered in a classroom so that students can successfully execute a project that combines technology with other disciplines, both scientific and humanistic.

Foldscope paper microscop: making science accessible to all children

(Catalan)

Saturday October 14th

11.00h-12.00h / Aula K

In 2010, the first prototype of Foldscope was created, the $1 paper microscope invented by bioscientist Manu Prakash and bioengineer Jim Cybulski. Currently, more than 2 million paper microscopes have been distributed worldwide. In this workshop, Jym Cybulski will show participants how to use it with their students or children and all the educational possibilities it has.

Computational thinking unplugged: Learning to programme without screens

(Catalan)

Saturday October 14th

12.15h-13.15h / Aula K

Computational thinking allows us to solve problems in daily life by applying elements of computing, such as pattern recognition, abstraction, algorithms or decomposition.

Post-Growth Control Wars is a speculative research space and game where strategic design and collaborative fiction are activated to explore the tensions between green growth and degrowth. Starting from projections agreed upon by the scientific community and in dialogue with sociological debates, the participants will enter into dynamics of conflict and collaboration to explore the social, technological and affective dimensions of the transitions towards worlds where life is at the center. This is a Becoming initiative, funded by Loturak Festival (Bilbao) and in collaboration with Holon and Research & Degrowth International.

11.00h-12.30h / Aula M

This workshop will take participants on a short life-centered design journey to inspire them to give nature a voice in their work, using non-human personas. Non-human persona mapping is used in Life-Centered Design to create an emotional connection with nature and non-human entities. This emerging and actionable design approach gives designers and other creatives the mindset, opportunity and ability to design holistically.

Sparking collective action through storytelling

by Izzy Ahrbeck of Impact Hub Berlin (English)

Saturday October 14th

12:30h–14:00h / Aula M

Since early human history, people have connected through storytelling. In today’s world, stories are all around us; whether on social media, in political campaigns, in pitch decks or in films, telling stories is a powerful tool that moves us towards a certain action or cause. So, how can we use this power of storytelling to create positive change? How can stories promote collective action? How is storytelling key to building community? In this creativity-sparking workshop delivered by the Community Manager of Impact Hub Berlin, participants will gain hands-on skills on how to build an engaging story and how to use that skill for good.

Intergenerational and intersectional dialogue on climate justice

by Asociación Catalana de integración y desarrollo humano(Catalan)

Saturday October 14th

15:30h–16:30h / Aula M

This workshop is built on intergenerational and intersectional dialogue promoted by ACIDH (Catalan Association for Integration and Human Development) and Oxfam Intermón. The debate is based on life experiences and emotions of older people and young students with disabilities (functional diversity). The debate endeavors to avoid barriers that usually reduce spaces for dialogue, consultation and democratisation of climate action to a limited number of people (experts, academics, activists, politicians, among others), often excluding those who suffer the most from social inequalities and impacts of climate change.
