In Pollen Watch we explore pollen and climate change from different perspectives!
In a series of events we aim to open a dialogue on these topics and the power of citizen science to tackle current and future issues.
In this interactive workshop, we use the game of musical chairs to explore how we manage common resources like water or energy.
Through playful experimentation, we move from competition to collaboration and reflect on concepts such as scarcity, abundance, and collective responsibility. Together, we discuss how these ideas relate to climate change and how we can manage shared resources more sustainably.
The event takes place during the MoveTheDate Festival.
