Vërshimet gjithnjë e më të shpeshta, thatësirat, zjarret dhe fatkeqësitë e motit që nuk po ndodhin më thjesht “atje”. E gjithë kjo ishte parashikuar dekada më parë, në raporte e publikime të ndryshme të cilat japin zgjidhjen e qartë – investimi në energji alternative si dalje strategjike nga I gjithë shkatërrimi potencial që këto ndryshime…
During this experience we have learned a lot, first and foremost we were introduced to topics related to climate change that were new to us. One of the workshops that we attended was related to climate justice & sexuality. At first it does not look directly related, and that is because it isn’t. However, indirectly…
From the beginning of our journey we were not looking forward to traveling all the way from Prishtina to Cologne, but in the end, it turned out to be a rewarding experience. Besides the fact that it has a lesser environmental impact, it taught us that it is really nice and healthy to take more…

A great start to the day: we were trying to engage in a diplomatic dialogue with a self-adopted cat, called Gaia, in order to convince him not to lick the cream cheese we were supposed to have for breakfast. Besides some minor scratches, Gaia got his share and we continued to eat an amazing vegetarian breakfast.…
“I think calling it climate change is rather limiting. I would rather call it everything change” – Margaret Atwood This quote righteously captures the crisis we are facing today, and essentially what we have talked about during our first day in the Training 4 Climate Activists. It was a lovely day, extremely hot (surprise, surprise…),…
„Auf geht’s! Ab geht’s! Ende Gelände!“ “What do we want? Climate Justice! What do we want? Climate Justice. Now!” We are shouting this into the air of the early morning, chasing away the last dreams, maybe also chasing away the fear of the unforeseeable days ahead of us. We are around 1000 people gathering this…
