The Big Green

The Big Green (EU CREA2027) ist ein europaweites Kooperationsprojekt, das Kunst, Kultur, Wissenschaft und Umweltakteure zusammenbringt, um den Klimawandel aktiv anzugehen. Ziel ist es, den Kultur- und Kreativsektor zu einer treibenden Kraft für nachhaltigen Wandel zu machen. Durch Forschung, Trainings, Festivals und Pilotprojekte werden neue Methoden, Praktiken und Netzwerke entwickelt, die den Austausch fördern und konkrete Beiträge zu einer umweltfreundlicheren Gesellschaft leisten.

Die Otelo eGen ist Teil dieses starken europäischen Netzwerks und bringt ihre Erfahrung in kollaborativen Innovations- und Lernprozessen in das Projekt ein.

The Big Green (EU CREA2027) is a pan-European Creative Europe project (2023–2027) that brings together artists, cultural organisations, scientists and environmental actors to explore how art can drive sustainable transformation. The initiative focuses on connecting creative practices with ecological challenges—ranging from climate change to biodiversity—while fostering cross-sector collaboration across Europe.

Through research, artistic productions, residencies, workshops and the Green Academy, the project develops innovative methods such as ecological learning, artivism and natural heritage interpretation. It also builds frameworks and guidelines to strengthen collaboration between the cultural sector and science, aiming to influence behaviour, policy and public awareness towards sustainability.

By creating networks, sharing best practices and experimenting with new forms of artistic expression, The Big Green empowers the cultural and creative sector to become a key driver of environmental change and a strong partner in shaping a sustainable future in Europe.
