| 00:00 - 00:05 | My wife said, hey Recitas, go do some usefull work! |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | go working for the city administration. |
| 00:07 - 00:10 | So I went to the city hall |
| 00:11 - 00:16 | I met with the mayor, he looked at me and then he said |
| 00:17 - 00:21 | You will be our climate policy officer |
| 00:21 - 00:24 | can you believe??? |
| 00:29 - 00:31 | can you? |
| 00:31 - 00:34 | And you will work with Keijen. |
| 00:38 - 00:40 | and |
| 00:41 - 00:47 | And with a bunch of decent man and woman from all over Europe |
| 00:47 - 00:50 | working together in an Interreg Project |
| 00:50 - 00:56 | They are very nice but are stuck at home instead of having real partner meetings |
| 00:58 - 00:59 | and now they only meet |
| 00:59 - 01:01 | on-line via teleconferences |
| 01:04 - 01:06 | they have to look into the camera |
| 01:06 - 01:08 | smile and wave to each other. |
| 01:13 - 01:14 | But then, the mayor said |
| 01:14 - 01:16 | You have a very important mission |
| 01:16 - 01:20 | You need to set up a participative sustainable energy project |
| 01:21 - 01:27 | You need to involve as much inhabitants of our beautiful city as possible in this project |
| 01:35 - 01:36 | He wants to empower citizens |
| 01:36 - 01:39 | and want to create more advantages of the energy transition |
| 01:41 - 01:44 | Hey, don't laugh he said |
| 01:44 - 01:47 | Carbon reduction is a serious challenge |
| 01:47 - 01:49 | and it is a shared responsability. |
| 01:50 - 01:53 | Now it's up to you. |
| 01:54 - 01:56 | And I didn't know |
| 01:56 - 01:58 | what to do! |
| 01:58 - 02:02 | So I organised a workshop with al these girls and boys of EMPOWER |
| 02:05 - 02:07 | and asked them! |
| 02:10 - 02:11 | a workshop |
| 02:11 - 02:13 | on line |
| 02:15 - 02:17 | via an interactive mural session |
| 02:17 - 02:20 | in which they have to anwer to questions via post-its |
| 02:21 - 02:28 | So my questions were, what are the lessons learned, and what practices should I copy |
| 02:29 - 02:30 | from your pilots? |
| 02:30 - 02:32 | yes, from their 7 pilot projects |
| 02:36 - 02:39 | What is your golden tip? |
| 02:40 - 02:42 | To involve citizens? |
| 02:50 - 02:55 | What should be the role of the local authority? |
| 02:56 - 02:58 | Is it a wind energy project? |
| 02:58 - 03:04 | No, which type of energy project needs to decided together with the citizens |
| 03:04 - 03:09 | but it needs to bring added value for all |
| 03:09 - 03:11 | for everybody |
| 03:16 - 03:20 | empowering citizens... |
| 03:23 - 03:26 | ...the city council doesn't know how to do it! |
| 03:31 - 03:36 | So please help me and share all your insights with me, fill post-its |
