Our TreeDependent - Responsible events, responsible travel programme continues in 2022. In cooperation with our partners we distributed 319 trees to 17 schools, kindergartens and local NGOs this spring. 234 of these trees were sponsored by ALTEO Nyrt., 50 trees by the Business Council for Sustainable Development in Hungary, and 35 trees by GreenDependent Institute.

The Faculty of Education Sciences and the Campus Sustentabilidade of the University of A Coruña in February 2022 organised a Galician Regional Workshop - exploring the concept of energy citizenship in Galicia – as one of the seventeen autonomous communities that make up Spain - and the factors that act as facilitators or barriers to greater involvement of citizens in decision-making regarding a new sustainable energy model in the territory.

Great news for anyone interested in green energy, energy transition and energy citizenship: the 2nd Newsletter of the EnergyPROSPECTS research project is already up and running!

In the framework of the Energy PROSPECTS research project, GreenDependent (www.greendependent.org) organised an expert workshop in Hungary about energy citizenship.

Among other things, we discussed issues like what energy citizenship means, what kind of individual and collective examples of energy citizenship exist today (also working towards a typology of ideal types of energy citizenship), and we also spent quite a bit of time discussing how and to what extent the currently existing forms of energy citizenship contribute to the creation of a more sustainable, democratic and just energy system.
