Climate Action Empowerment in Practice – A Short Film & the Climate Days in Hodonín
As part of the EUKI-funded ELCA – Empowering Local Climate Action project, 21 participants from Czechia and Romania completed an intensive two-phase training program. The final week of the training featured field excursions, a project conference, and a formal certificate ceremony in Witzenhausen in March 2025.
What does it really mean to implement climate action locally? How does knowledge become shared responsibility? And how important is regional collaboration for a sustainable future?
This short film, created during the final week of the Climate Protection Management training, offers engaging insights.

Now it’s time for real-world action
A standout outcome from the practical training phase was the co-creation and launch of the Climate Days Hodonín by the Czech trainees in close partnership with PIN – People in Need and local stakeholders.
The Climate Days Hodonín will take place from May to June 2025, featuring workshops, field visits, and a two-day regional conference (June 17–18). The planned events will bring together municipalities, citizens, experts, and activists to make local climate action visible and highlight the power of mutual motivation, education, and regional solidarity.

Climate protection is a shared responsibility
Under the ELCA framework, Climate Action Plans for Moravská Nová Ves, Hodonín, and Prušánky were successfully finalised with PIN this year – developed in partnership with local communities and now shaping official municipal climate initiatives and regional development. We are proud to see the ELCA trainees carrying this spark forward: they inform, inspire, unite and help to share knowledge for a climate-resilient future.
