Klockan är 4 på morgonen, och det är dags att kliva upp och ta tåget från Göteborg mot de småländska skogarna. Fenix Kunskapscentrum i Vaggeryd håller Världskonferens med studenter från utbytesskolor från hela världen: Spanien, Tyskland, Frankrike, Tjeckien, Polen, Kenya och Japan!
Wake-Up Call blev tillfrågade att hålla öppningsanförandet för konferensen, och vi tog även med oss Kerstin och Olivia från Reconsider för att hålla idéworkshops kring hållbarhet under dagen. (more…)
Thursday, 4 a.m. It’s time get up to catch a train towards the forests of Småland and Vaggeryd. The local school, Fenix Kunskapscentrum, are holding a World Conference, with students from exchange schools all over the world attending: Spain, Germany, France, Czech Republic, Poland, Kenya and Japan!
Wake-Up Call were asked to hold an inspirational speech at the start of the conference, and we also invited our friends Kerstin and Olivia from Reconsider to hold idea workshops.
‘Moving Planet’ is a huge global day of action for climate this September 24, co-organized by groups like 350.org, Greenpeace, Yes Men, Oxfam, World Council of Churches and many others. On this day, all over the world, by the hundreds and thousands, people will be getting on bicycles and hitting the streets to push their communities and our politicians beyond fossil fuels. Just this morning Indonesia launched a 350 hour bike ride and New Zealand made a hilarious video about their plans to launch a rocket into space, and in just few hours our friend David Gillblom from Wake-Up Call’s local team in Gothenburg will meet 300 high school students in Vaggeryd to get them all excited about organising a ‘Moving Planet’ event in their home town. You can check it out at: http://www.moving-planet.org
It’s just 10 days away. Will you join the fun and organise something in your place? It can be easy and fun: start with creating a new Facebook event and registering a new action on http://www.moving-planet.org/start Then let’s see how many friends you can get together for a bike ride, a roller-blade flash mob, a dance marathon, or a skateboard invasion in your town. If you need stencils, logos, T-shirts designs – we got it all covered on this page. And if you need to find more stuff, you always can use , right? 😉
