Get Inspired! Is an exciting exhibition presenting the cumulative results of the Challenge Europe project. The Exhibition was launched in Prague on the 1st February 2011. If you would like to know more about eco-fashion, green buildings or local food then this exhibition is the one to visit.

Since 2008 over 600 Climate Advocates have worked together in 18 different European countries to developed over 100 climate focussed projects. Their ideas ranged from education, transport, housing, food and agriculture to energy and business practice as well as raising awareness and encouraging personal action. The Climate Advocates were not alone on their journey. Several hundred international and national experts and other partners helped them to develop solution on how to accelerate change towards a low carbon future.

“The exhibition, along with the project as a whole, aims to raise awareness of the public about the issues surrounding climate change and to inspire people to take action,‘ says Regional Project Manager Jana Hecova. ‚The project has also created networks and relationships among young people across Europe who will have the skills and motivation to influence action on climate change issues.’

The exhibition at the National Technical Library in Prague lasts until 25 February. Thereafter it will be on tour in several Czech cities and will also be displayed in several European countries. The exhibition has been funded with support from the European Commission. Take a look at some ideas − they might inspire you to do something yourself.
