PROJECT DESCRIPTION
BACKGROUND
More and more people are willing to do something about rising (energy) prices, more fragile supply structures and climate change. Hence the EmpowerLIFE project provides concrete, simple and effective measures that can be co-created and implemented by local communities following a do-it-yourself (DIY) approach. The measures will cover three categories: - Lifehacks: Are rolled out as online challenges using an existing App. They are simple and can be implemented individually, e.g. sealing windows. - Workshops: Measures that require practical instruction and additional support, e.g. insulation of storey ceilings. - Community projects: Are more complex, need to be implemented jointly and require resources and ongoing support, e.g. community gardens, car sharing. The addressed local communities are constituted spatially (neighbourhoods, etc.), socially (work colleagues, associations, etc.) or thematically (solar self-construction groups, etc.). EmpowerLIFE Hubs are installed to provide the communities with spaces to co-create and implement innovative climate solutions and offer tools, material, and expertise. The project activities will be embedded in existing structures and are realized in close cooperation with established initiatives and civil society organizations.
