ArtePollino2022 – Advocacy for the Future

On May 7, at 11 pm, researchers and activists CELESTE RIGHI RICCO and IRENE GHALEB will meet the students of “ISIS Sinisgalli” in Senise, involving them in the ADVOCACY FOR THE FUTURE workshop. They will have the opportunity to think about the problems caused by climate change and how to be responsible consumers. In the afternoon, at 5 pm, Celeste Righi Ricco and Irene Ghaleb will chat with the citizens of the southern area of Basilicata, in an open meeting at THE MULA+ Museum and Library of Latronico. 
Celeste Righi Ricco and Irene Ghaleb are co-founders of the Change For Planet association, created in 2020 by a group of young people coming from all Italian regions. The association’s main goal is to accelerate sustainable development by raising young people’s awareness on environmental issues, through meetings, events and educational projects, as well as by increasing climate literacy to have a real impact on local communities.
Both are European Climate Pact Ambassadors. The European Climate Pact is an EU-wide initiative that invites people, communities and organisations to build a greener Europe. The Pact’s ambassadors are people from different sectors of society from all over Europe, all committed to climate action.
