✏ On September 6th, Station Narva hosted a workshop on future scenarios "New horizons: preferred futures of Ida-Viru County", conducted by Johanna Vallistu (Estonian Institute for Futures Studies ETUI) and Eesti Roheline Liikumine / Estonian Green Movement-FoE. 🧊 The focus of the workshop was on the Causal Layered Analysis (CLA) method, which helped participants to discuss sustainable development issues in Ida-Viru County and to develop visions for the future of the region. The method focuses on finding positive metaphors for the future that resonate with the participants, rather than just focusing on finding solutions to today's problems. Discussions focused on six key areas from where to find solutions to major challenges and to identify new opportunities. We have published a summary of the themes of the debate as reflected in the different discussion groups on the EGM website which you can find here (EST)👇 https://lnkd.in/dDk4ufE5

💡 Why is it important to engage in discussions about energy communities in Estonia? What are the social, environmental and economic benefits of having more energy cooperatives in our society? 🎞 The recording of the discussion on community energy, held in Paide during the annual Opinion Festival / Arvamusfestival, is now up on our Youtube page. Take a listen to the session where in addition to tackling these questions we identified the main obstacles to the emergence of renewable energy communities, map the key steps to accelerate their deployment, as well as offer practical ideas and inspiration from the example of an existing energy cooperative in Italy. The panel is moderated by Karin Kruup (Good Deed Foundation), panelists are: 🎤 Joosep V. (CEO at Energiaühistu) 🎤 Märt Masso (expert at The Foresight Centre) 🎤 Anelia Stefanova (CEE Bankwatch, member of an energy cooperative in Collevecchio, Italy) 👏 We thank all of you who joined us on stage and in the audience!
