Bioregional Hope: Celebrating the growing bioregional movement through seven films
Bioregional Hope: Celebrating the growing bioregional movement through seven films
An initiative to recast the gloomiest day of the year with a festival of short fils on bioregionalism
From the event page: "On January 20th we'll transform Blue Monday—known as the "most depressing day of the year"—into a day of Active Hope 💙
Coinciding with the inauguration of the Trump presidency in the US, the 20th of January symbolises a new political era, in a world that looks more and more divided. That’s why on this day we want to bring the larger bioregional community together around an alternative vision for the future — a vision of Bioregional Hope.
What if we moved beyond nation-states and began organizing ourselves bioregionally — to reconnect with the unique landscapes we call home, while being part of a larger, interconnected whole?
During this event, we’ll premiere 7 short films, each featuring 3 bioregional changemakers, brought together by Bioregional Weaving Labs across Austria, Greece, Ireland, Netherlands, Poland, Romania and Spain, who are protecting, restoring, and regenerating their lands and seas 🌍
We invite you to virtually travel to at least two bioregions, watch their films and interact live with the changemakers. There will also be inspiring guest speakers and we’ll end with a clear call to action to get involved in the larger bioregional movement 🌱
Come join us on the evening of January 20th from 7:00 - 9:00 PM CET, bring your regenerative popcorn and wine 🍿🍷 a cup of tea or coffee 🍵☕ to transform Blue Monday into a celebration of Bioregional Hope ✨"
