A Park for the Climate.
Art, Community and Renaturation
Two days dedicated to the planting of trees in the area of Lake Bullicante and the Parco delle Energie in Rome to contribute to the renaturation of the neighborhood together with the citizens
Starting from the experience of protecting urban biodiversity carried out for years by the Forum of the Energy Park, on Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 November, participatory activities will be held for Roman citizens at the Parco delle Energie and Lake Bullicante, Ex Snia.
A few days after the end of COP26 and on the occasion of the National Tree Day on Sunday, A Sud , the Forum of the Parco delle Energie, CLIMATE ART PROJECT and K_ALMA want to contribute to the construction of a more resilient city by offering young and old moments of sharing and in-depth study on the challenges of climate change in our city and on the importance of green areas and active citizenship.
In continuity with the co-planning process between the Forum of the Parco delle Energie, A Sud, Climate Art Project and the climate art expert artist Andreco, the two days foresees the planting of trees within the area surrounding Lake Bullicante and at the Parco delle Energie.
The initiative will contribute in a concrete and participatory way to the renaturation of the Prenestino district, creating real “Green Classrooms”, where it will be possible to enjoy an open-air environmental educational experience. The Green Classrooms, designed together with the artist Andreco, are works of Land Art, Climate Actions and Nature Based Solutions for the mitigation and adaptation of climate change and meeting spaces for open-air environmental education.
