As part of ClieNFarms project, a video competition entitled “The Environment Needs Me” was launched, encouraging the sharing of stories about behavioral changes that contribute to a more sustainable future. The competition is looking for inspiring and creative videos that demonstrate individual or community actions with positive environmental impacts.

This project is an Innovation Action project funded by the European Commission to support the European Green Deal, of which CONSULAI is a partner. The project aims to co-develop and scale up systemic, locally relevant solutions to foster climate-neutral and climate-resilient farms across Europe. To find out more about the project, visit: https://clienfarms.eu/.

Some examples of themes that can be explored in the competition:

• Resilient agriculture – innovations and practices that reduce carbon emissions and promote the sustainability of the sector;
• Biodiversity and wildlife – initiatives to protect and restore ecosystems and species;
• Overcoming challenges – stories of resilience in the face of climate change;
• Sustainable consumer choices – how conscious consumption can impact the environment.

Who can take part?

The competition is open to anyone over the age of 18, except those working directly on the ClieNFarms project. Family members, friends and colleagues of project members can take part, even if they are linked to partner institutions, companies, associations or universities.

What are the prizes and deadlines?

From all the videos submitted, three winners will be selected. The three winners will win a trip to a Belgian city and the opportunity to take part in the project’s Final Conference in Brussels in November 2025.

You can enter the competition until 31 August 2025, and the results will be announced at the end of September this year.
