🇬🇧 The new CreatiVelo in #Sinzig is ready to go on Tour 😎😎
Last year, #CreatiVelos made a major comeback since their trip to #COP26 in 2021. Together, we cycled 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️ over 500 kilometers with the CreatiVelos through the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg 🇱🇺🇱🇺

On that #journey, we met over 250 inspiring 💡💡 people. That's one inspiring person every two kilometers!! You don’t have to travel far to hear 👂 👂great stories or to meet lovely people <3

Some of the #people we met were already committed to a better future (new videos coming soon 😉)🌳🌎, while others were open to discussion to become #changemakers.

And that is absolutely amazing! Why? Because to make the sustainable #transition happen, to save Mother Earth 🌍 🌏 from #collapse, we need everyone and not just one small group of experts 🥼🥼. We need to act together as Earth citizens 🌍🦸, as a global team, and not as egoistic personalities.

The #CreatiVelo, as a Bubble-Breaker, exchange point, learning hub, film studio, and mobile film festival, in addition to local action teams, can help make our mission come true.

May 2024 be filled with sustainable change and resilience. ⭐️🌳

🇱🇺 Vue que dass de #CreatiVelo genau sou wéi een normale Vëlo 🚲🚲 gutt Vëlosinfrastruktur brauch, woren mir den 20. September 📅🍂 op der Tabel Ronde vu @provelo.lu zur Vëlospolitik. Sou konnte mir gewuer ginn wéi eng #Politiker:innen fir de Vëlo stinn. An deem Kader konnte mir och mam @garydiderich een Interview 🎥🗣️ maachen.

Den Interview gett an den nächsten Wochen veröffentlecht 😁😎

🇬🇧 Since the #CreatiVelo requires good cycling infrastructure just like a regular bike 🚲🚲 we took the opportunity to attend @provelo.lu panel discussion to see which #politicians are offering a solid plan for cycling 🚲🏗️ infrastructure. We even had the chance to interview a politician and engaged in meaningful 🗣️🚴‍♀️ discussions with fellow cyclists.

The interview will be published the next weeks 😁😎

We made it! After a long and exciting journey with our special, #solarpowered #ebikes we finally reached our destination: The #ClimateConference #COP26 in #Glasgow!⠀
⠀
On our journey we met so many inspiring people from interesting places. We interviewed a lot of them and collected statements on how we as humanity can tackle the #climatecrisis.⠀
⠀
We rode through cold wind and rain – but we also experienced beautiful sunny days and amazing sunsets.⠀
⠀
But this is just the beginning of the next adventure: We have a lot to experience here at the climate conference and we even take part ourselves. On friday the 5th we will present the #EarthbeatFilmChallenge as well as the earthbeat #cop26tour in the cinema auditorium in the green zone at 7pm 'til 9pm-⠀
⠀
We’d like to thank our followers, our team, our partners and sponsors! Without you, all of this wouldn’t have been possible. Now – we are looking forward to an inspired time here in Glasgow :) Stay tuned for updates, input, inspiration! We also have lots of interviews and statements we didn’t post yet. And if you’d like to send us your own statement answering the question „what will it take?“ – we’ll be glad to post it here. Plus me might even show it on our #Creativelo⠀

After our Stay in London and being part of the exhibition „From steam to green“ in the #LondonTransportMuseum @ltmuseum we travelled to Birmingham , the second biggest City in England. There we stayed with the #CreatiVelo in the pedestrian zone in front of the famous #StMartinsChurch. Lots of pedestrians were curious about our #earthbeatCOPtour. We were even spontaneously invited into the church by 2 priests and we interviewed them along with a couple of parishioners.

Then we rode to the @astonuniversity and talked to Annas Mazhar, vice-president of student activities. And afterwards with scientists from @SupergenBioHub, that are into very interesting energy research (Interviews are coming soon!). They are gonna be in #Glasgow as well – not at #COP26 directly but we are looking forward meeting them again at an event at the local university they are hosting together with other universities around the country.
We also talked to the #astonuniversity PR team and had a very british #teatime in the EBRI (Energy and Bioproducts Research Institute)

After taking another day off we travelled a long way to Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland – which is just about 50 miles away from our final destination in Glasgow. On the way we rode through the #lakeDistrictNationalPark – a stunningly beautiful nature reserve!

In Edinburgh the whole project team gathers again. Even some of the pupils from Ettelbrück gymnasium (a small town in Luxembourg from where we started the whole tour) will be coming. And last but not least we invited Tom Scheidel, an award winning young environmental scientist.

We are super excited about what's coming next! Just 1 day 'til the conference – Though we will make it only for the 2nd day.
On the 5th we will present the #EarthbeatChallenge as well as the tour in the Cinema Auditorium in the green zone at 7pm 'til 9pm

After a day off in Rye, we were invited by the director of #RyeCollege. We stayed a couple of hours and interviewed the pupils – and also the mayor of Rye, who was very interested in our tour and the whole project.

Afterwards, we visited the most important nature reserve in South England – the #Romney Marsh and had inspiring conversations with the Rangers.
It was very windy. And at some point, the wind was so strong that it pushed the bike to the edge and made it tip over! Fortunately – again – Alessandra did not get hurt. Only a bit shocked. The bike only had a few scratches.

The intense day made us hungry and tired – so we rode back to our hotel and rested for our trip to Oxford the next day.

At the Oxford city university we met ~200 students. The college is part of a network of ~50 colleges and they are very interested in the #CreatiVelo to establish their own as a physical communication tool between partners and the communities around them.
After that we rode about 15 miles to Bicester, which is a civil parish in north-east Oxfordshire – to interview the pupils and teachers of the local college. On the way back, the streets to Oxford were flooded by a heavy rain – so we had to take the truck this time.

Then something unfortunate happened: Max got ill. He had headaches and didn’t feel well. So we had to bring him to hospital for a checkup. Don’t worry, it’s nothing severe or contagious! But bad enough for him to keep on cycling. We reserved him a seat in our truck for our travel to London the next day.

For the weekend, we were invited to the London Transport Museum @ltmuseum where we were a part of the exhibition #FromSteamToGreen. Very exciting!

Unfortunately Max still didn’t feel well on monday – so he decided to fly back to his hometown Luxembourg from where we started. Press your thumbs, that he’ll be well enough to rejoin us at the #climateconference in #Glasgow next week!

While we were leaving Brussels for Lille, the students from Ettelbruck drove home. After a restful night we were greeted by a wonderful sun after the many #rainydays on our tour. The weather motivated us even more to go to the event of a citizens' movement: In addition to a city district inspection with projects on transformation, we of course did interviews again and presented our project.

Among other things we were shown one of 3000 houses in lille that are currently being energetically renovated and the first real organic supermarket in Lille.

Then we drove to an event in the park: There the mood was good, music was played and wishes for the climate conference were written down and hung on a tree.

After a few interviews, we drove to an old factory building that today serves as an office for various associations. A community of citizens has installed solar systems in the hall.

Before we stopped for dinner, the “Mayoress for Transformation” (yes, there is that in Lille!) gave us an exciting interview.
The next day we left for Callei, from where our ferry to England left. It took us half the day to organize a PCR test, to be waved through customs with our bicycles and trucks.

We were astonished that shortly before our ferry a not even half full ferry started within sight. The same was true for a third ferry right behind us - not even half full and deep black smoke rising from all of them. This to be done differently!
At 3 p.m. local time we reached Dover, where we were allowed to enjoy one of the most beautiful sections of our tour so far on the cliffs of a nature reserve. A wonderful sunset while driving along England's coast rounded off the almost mystical experience.

It wasn't until late that we arrived in Rye, very hungry and tired, and ended up in bed at 11 am with sore muscles. That night we all slept as deeply as babies!

Our journey led us from Eindhoven to #Eersel, a municipality in the #dutch province of Noord-Brabant – right next to Belgium. This region is special, because it is the one that produces the second most meat in the world. It is also a rural region with one of the highest #emissions in terms of dust and nitrogen oxide #airpollution.

So we interviewed the mayor at a measuring station for #dustpollution. The station is run by the municipality and citizens – to find out how high the pollution is and use it as an argument for #transformation. They know, they have to change the intensive agriculture and spread #awareness to the citizens.

The mayor of Eerselen is also an activist in this #citizensmovement and organises cooperation between 23 independent municipalities – always in connection with citizen actions.

It was a long day and we started feeling the sporty side of the tour in our bones and muscles. So we stayed for the night in Eersel.

The next day we started in pouring rain with a group of students from the Ettelbrucker Gymnasium (Luxembourg) to Brussels. The students accompanied us since Luxembourg.
On the way something unexpected happened: A motorbike passed by very rapidly and nearby – and Alessandra tipped over with the bike, wanting to avoid a crash! But luckily she is fine. It was just a little shock of course. And the bike has only a few scratches – but nothing grave.

In Brussels we were picked up by the European Parliament member Hansen – a passionate racing cyclist – together with 2 people from his team. He accompanied us with his bike up to the parliament. The plan was to go in there, but 3 students did not have a vaccination certificate with a QR code ready - and so we waived out of solidarity.
Instead, we had a picnic with exciting discussions with Hansen and the students from #Ettelbrück.

What an inspiring trip!

It was a #rainyday on the way from #Luxembourg to #Maastricht (#Netherlands). But everyone was full of energy and a beautiful #sunset at a #bikecrossing in Eindhoven filled our hearts with even more joy that we are on the road riding the #CreatiVelos – after weeks of preperation with lots of uncertainties.
Another inspiration was that city alderman in the centre of Eindhoven that we met in an #urbangarden – re-cultivating #citylife.
There was a lot of input. We made a very interesting interview with a former engineer at Philips.
At the University of Eindhoven we interviewed a couple of students like Axel, a software engineer and Welike, a student of communication, both working on #sustainability projects.

Did you know, that more than 10 million people die each year from air pollution? This is why Utrecht, another city in the Netherlands, decided for a car-free city center just a couple of months ago. And Eindhoven is now also heading towards a cleaner, car free city center with a better air quality – which accounts for The #SustainableDevelopmentGoal no. 3 – #GoodHealthAndWellBeing!).

We had a great time yesterday showing one of the CreatiVelos for the first time in public! Although the weather was not very good and therefore not many people passed our location in front of the Luxembourg main train station – the people that did were amazed by the project, the bike, the energy. We had some very nice conversations that day! We'll look forward seeing you in your city! We'll soon be releasing the shedule and we hope to see you there :)

With 3 e-Bikes called „CreatiVelos“ Earthbeat Activists will ride from Luxembourg to Glasgow.
Anyone can take part in the #Earthbeat #COP26tour. Join online or via the #Youth4planet app (link in bio). The young #cyclists collect your voices wherever they stop. In #storytelling workshops they spread a simple method of how to get others excited about your project with powerful images. They ask mayors what they are doing for the climate-friendly transformation of their community. Everyone can be Earthbeat!
And here is how they were built.
#ebike #cycling #ebiking
On the way to #Glasgow the team will stop in many locations to show films about SDG-related topics (#SDGs = Sustainable Development Goals) to passing pedestrians. They are made by young people all around the globe.
They will also hold #filmworkshops with young people and carry out interviews with activists and mayors. They will collect film reports of successful transformation projects to bring them to the #climateconference.
In Glasgow, these films will make the voices of the youth heard – by journalists, by scientists and by decision makers!

The story of the CreatiVelos

The CreatiVelo initiative, launched in Luxembourg in 2021, features solar-powered bicycles with built-in monitors for global connectivity. Initially, these bicycles shared youth stories and films, but their mission expanded during the COP26 conference to include promoting sustainable development projects. Youth action teams worldwide use CreatiVelos for idea exchange, and in 2023, students in India built their versions for local missions. The CreatiVelos also participated in COP28 in Dubai and are increasingly used in educational settings to foster collaboration and innovation.
