DesirMED is looking for 100 individuals with different profiles and backgrounds to share their stories and engage with our vision 📢 Will you be one of them?

Why?

DesirMED Climate Ambassadors are envisaged to be citizens and professionals from the Mediterranean who are eager to share their everyday experience with climate change and potentially their ideas and actions to mitigate its impacts and adapt. We would like to help other citizens understand the implications of climate change and the role that each one of us can play, with simple stories, simple words from ordinary people.

Your story and experiences can inspire others to take action! Have you thought of a solution to tackle a climate challenge in your area or community? Are you already applying a practice to adapt to climate change? Whether it's mobilising to plant trees, protect the dunes in your local beach, restore a small wetland, help your community after a fire or a flood, or even make small changes like rainwater harvesting or building a school garden... Your story could highlight challenges you’ve faced, lessons you’ve learned, or the impact your actions have had. Share it among our big DesirMED community!

In addition, through your role as an Ambassador you are invited to support our movement for transformative adaptation, spread the word on DesirMED’s achievements and participate in key events in a voluntary manner.

DesirMED Climate Ambassadors are expected to be engaged in a twofold way:

• Provide content for the “Adaptation Diaries”, a section to be featured on DesirMED’s website and other channels (in different format e.g., written blogs or interviews, videos, photos and image cards, podcasts). 

• Be involved in DesirMED’s events and activities, for example in the Adaptation Exhibitions and Festivals, regional hackathons, etc. Your participation could range from simple attendance to involvement in working groups or presenting a project or initiative you are involved in.

How to start?

Fill in this short form to declare your interest, let us know more about yourself, and submit your story to be featured on DesirMED Adaptation Diaries. The format of the content is up to you - here's a few ideas (just make sure they are good quality):

• A short video
• An audio recording
• A series of photos or images with captions
• A written blog or article of max. 700 words

And then? Not only will you inspire other people with your experience, but you will be part of a community of 100 changemakers to exchange ideas, inspire action, and amplify your voice in the fight against climate change. You will have the opportunity to participate in our events and initiatives, including our upcoming Adaptation Festivals.

Don’t miss this opportunity: your story can spark the change we need!
