With 3 e-Bikes powered by solar energy, each one equipped with a monitor, a youth4planet/Earthbeat team will travel from Luxemburg through Europe to the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow (1st-12th Nov 2021). “CreatiVelo” is 2 words combined: Creativity and “Velo” – which comes from velocity and in many languages is the word for bicycle.

On the way to Glasgow, the team will stop in many locations to show your films to passing pedestrians, hold film workshops with young people, and carry out interviews with activists and mayors. They’ll collect film reports of successful transformation projects to bring them to the climate conference. In Glasgow these films will make your voice, and the voices of youth from all over the world, heard more loudly – by journalists, by scientists and by decision makers! Everyone across the world will be able to follow the journey up close via the Earthbeat website and social media.

    What becomes visible this spring, as one looks carefully enough, is not merely a sequence of events . . . but a sequence of scales: at the BNE Days 2026 in Luxembourg, the scale was national, pedagogical, almost deceptively modest. Yet the architecture was unusually ambitious. Three pillars . . . networking, training, youth. A…
