FREE Solutions Video Contest – the Competition is now open!

Do you live in a remote or rural area? Or a small town in the European countryside? Do you have a specific way of dealing with your energy concerns?

The FREE initiative has launched its ‘FREE Solutions Video Contest’, and would like to invite inhabitants of remote and rural regions in Europe to submit how they face their specific energy challenges into a short video. This is a great opportunity for mountains areas to show and share their energy specificities.

To participate in the contest, please make a 2-min (max.) home-video (e.g. using your smartphone or a handy cam) showing us the challenges you face on a daily basis or the sustainable energy improvements made in your residence or business. Submit your video and get a chance to win one of the two cool and dynamic GoPro Action Cameras, allowing you to share your rural energy adventures from your viewpoint with the rest of the world!

To view the rules of the contest, the ‘how-to’ page, and all submission details, please click here.

For more information, please contact the secretariat of the FREE initiative: +32 2 235 0997, or by email: rural-energy@fleishman.com

Today, Euromontana had the pleasure to take part in the journalist training course “Transizione ecologica nelle aree montane: biodiversità, cambiamento climatico e sviluppo sostenibile”, organised by Università della Montagna with the Ordine dei Giornalisti della Lombardia (the Lombardy Association of Journalists 📰)The course, bringing together 65+ participants, focused on how to better understand and report on ecological transition in mountain areas, from biodiversity and climate change to sustainable development ⛰️👉This matters because the way mountain areas are reported shapes the way they are understood and, ultimately, the way they are governed!We were pleased to join our member UNIMONT in this exchange. Prof. Anna Giorgi highlighted the need to change the way mountain areas are perceived, beyond fragility and marginality. Stefano Sala then showed how issues such as depopulation, winter tourism, climate change and public policy require a more nuanced reading of mountain realities 🔍 For Euromontana, Guillaume Corradino brought a European perspective to the discussion. He stressed that :1️⃣ mountains are not Europe’s margins, but diverse and complex living territories, and 2️⃣ stronger place-based policies and European cooperation are needed to move from recognition to implementation.Thanks again for the organization, the opportunity, and to all the participants 👏 ...
