The TREES consortium is pleased to announce the upcoming Final Online Conference of the project, taking place on 19 November 2025 from 16:00 to 19:00 CET. This event will bring together artists, environmental experts, partner organisations and participants from across Europe to celebrate the achievements of the TREES project and explore the future of environmentally conscious performance-making.
The TREES project—Raising Environmental Awareness through Performing Arts—has worked across seven countries to develop innovative eco-theatre methods and promote the role of the arts in addressing climate change, biodiversity loss and our relationship with nature. The final conference marks the culmination of this work, offering an opportunity to present results, exchange perspectives and reflect on the impact of the project.
The event will feature an overview of the project, a presentation of the performances created by partners, and three thematic panels engaging scientists, environmental organisations and artists. Together, these sessions will highlight how artistic practice can strengthen public engagement with environmental issues and inspire new forms of climate-conscious action.
