🎬 Video interview | ELCRA in Madrid
🎤 At the 1st International Conference on Environmental Communication, Literacy and Climate Activism, we spoke with Katia Sanz Amado, a third-year Journalism student at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid.
📚 Katia took part in the ELCRA project's MOOC course and shares what she learnt: a deeper awareness not only of climate change, but also of the circular economy and how individual actions can translate into collective commitment.
✍️ As a journalism student, Katia discovered the weight of responsibility that journalists carry in actively participating in social change — something she had not fully considered before.
💡 The course also introduced her to new concepts, such as eco-anxiety, which she had never previously thought of as an issue linked to sustainability.
🌍 Her advice? Take this course to better understand how sustainability works, how it relates to society, and how important it is to create a sustainable world for our generation and those to come.

🎬 Video interview | ELCRA in Madrid
🎤 At the 1st International Conference on Environmental Communication, Literacy and Climate Activism, we spoke with Nora Barreto Torres, a third-year Journalism student at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid.
📚 As a journalism student, Nora found the ELCRA MOOC course particularly useful and innovative: rather than simply providing data on climate change, it offers a social and psychological perspective that other courses often overlook.
💻 Nora greatly appreciated the interactive teaching method: hypertexts, videos and quizzes at the end of each module make revising the content far more engaging.
🌿 One topic that really struck her? Greenwashing. Her generation cares deeply about environmental issues, but not all companies that market themselves as "green" truly live up to that claim.
💡 Her advice: seek out reliable sources, gather diverse information and cross-check everything.

🎬 Video interview | ELCRA in Madrid
🎤 At the 1st International Conference on Environmental Communication, Literacy and Climate Activism, we spoke with David Varona Aramburu, Professor at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid.
🌍 According to Prof. David Varona Aramburu, events like this international conference offer a valuable opportunity for the project: researchers and experts from various fields of environmental communication bring fresh ideas and new perspectives that the project team had not yet considered.
💡 These contributions will prove essential for ELCRA's upcoming phases: the development of COIL courses, the delivery of workshops across partner countries, and the drafting of the final booklet containing the project's recommendations.
🚀 The conference also opens new horizons: international participants can propose ideas for future projects or even a second edition of ELCRA.

🎤 At the 1st International Conference on Environmental Communication, Literacy and Climate Activism, we spoke with Jesús Flores, Professor at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid.
📣 Prof. Flores explains how the idea for this conference stems from the desire to place communication at the centre: without communication, effective environmental literacy work becomes extremely difficult.
🎯 Through communication, the goal is to raise awareness and empower people to engage in formal, rigorous and informed climate activism.
🤝 These activities emerge as an initiative of the ELCRA project, coordinated by the University of Siena, and the Universidad Complutense de Madrid takes pride in collaborating on such initiatives.
🌱 The challenge lies in engaging both university institutions and governments to work together for the benefit of citizens, society, and to secure a clean planet for future generations.
