Get ready to dive into practical, hands-on learning tailored to the real challenges you face in your projects! Starting in January 2026, four KnowHow labs – online interactive sessions – will explore priority topics chosen by you and your fellow participants. Each Challenge team is expected to attend at least two KnowHow labs.

Description of KnowHow Lab #3 | Greening Your Library

This lab shares practical ways to make libraries more environmentally friendly. We look at the basics of reduce, reuse, and recycle, and how to bring climate action into library activities. Participants explore creative ideas to raise environmental awareness, involve their communities, and turn libraries into green, sustainable spaces.

Participants will learn how to use simple, practical steps to make their library greener, engage their community, and support everyday climate action.

We are delighted to welcome three inspiring speakers:
  1. Claire Buckley, Programme Lead, Julie’s Bicycle
  2. Iphigenia Taxopoulou, Associate, Julies Bicycle
  3. Nikoletta Stathopoulou, Head of Information & Library, Goethe-Institut Athen
We will also be joined by Dorota Kostowska, who will be capturing the session through graphic storytelling. We will share her visual notes with you after the lab.

Preparation for KHL #3

We recommend that you make a cup of tea or coffee, and find a nice quiet spot and take a little quiet time to listen to this podcast  (25 minutes) on Voices of Culture.
Welcome to “Voices of Culture,” the podcast that bridges the gaps in our fast-paced, often disconnected world presented by Dr. Lida Tsene, your host, and produced by Dina Ntziora.  In an era where meaningful connections can feel increasingly rare, “Voices of Culture” aims to foster compassion, build a sense of community, and reimagine the ways we engage with one another.
Join us as we explore the power of shared experiences, celebrate cultural diversity, and bring you stories that inspire, uplift, and unite. Welcome to “Voices of Culture,” where every voice matters and every story has the power to connect us all.
