Alexandria Green x Blue Workshop
The Human and the City for Social Research collaborated with Banlastik in organizing and facilitating “Alexandria Green x Blue” workshop. HCSR conducted several lectures on the concept of advocacy as a tool for changing environmentally harmful behaviors, the impact of climate change on the sea, rethinking the social consequences of encroachments on beaches, and important data on green spaces and their relationship with the Alexandrian community, emphasizing their significance in addressing climate change. The workshop was part of the Alfinmotion program, which lasted from 29 February to 2 March 2024. It was a knowledge and exploration workshop where participants and facilitators shared stories about nature and the sea. They learned about the biodiversity of marine microorganisms and rare plants in Alexandria, while emphasizing the need for societal behavior change and rediscovering neglected beaches and unsafe green spaces. The workshop targeted all those interested in environmental activities and human rights in the city and public spaces.
