EUTEENS4GREEN Projects

Ecotopia Caring Community is a project for engaging young people in the designing process of their own future by solving an educational escape room about utopian and dystopian realities of climate change.\nEcotopia Caring Community is a Stara-Zagora-based project aiming to engage young people in the designing process of their own future. By solving an educational escape room focused on the utopian and dystopian realities regarding climate change, the participants will have the opportunity to travel in time and in their own thoughts. This would help for raising awareness on the topic of climate change and improving the climate literacy of the young people in Stara Zagora.\n\nWe aim to create a community of young people that will be engaged in the development process of the escape room. Our “Futures Lab” event will create the basis for the design of the room by forming a common vision of the utopian and dystopian future scenarios. The two worlds in the room will show how people would live in the future if we manage or respectively not to solve the climate crisis.\n\nWhen the room is ready, a promotion campaign will take place, so young people from the city can find out about the opening and further functioning of the escape room. \n \nAfter the closing of the room, we will organize a “Past and Futures Lab” event to discuss the whole process, what successes and challenges we faced, as well as ways for the room to continue to exist or even travel to other cities in Bulgaria.
