2000 Watt, bicycle networks, climate protection and urban gardens

myclimate Audio Adventure Basel is starting just in time for the Basel Environment Days. As of 6 June, all of Basel will get to enjoy the informative and entertaining tour. Bettina Dieterle and Dani von Wattenwyl will provide a local flavour as speakers.

The overriding theme of myclimate Audio Adventure is the <link www.2000-watt.bs.ch - external-link "Opens external link in current window">2000 watt society</link>, since Basel is taking <link en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000-watt_society - external-link "Opens external link in current window">a pioneer's role with this trendsetting concept</link>. After the tour, participants can use their newly-acquired knowledge to solve a puzzle and win attractive prizes in the process. The audio experience in Basel includes three stories for different age groups:

  • "2000 Watt, bicycle networks and urban gardens" informs and entertains adults with information and anecdotes that otherwise remain hidden from tourists and locals
  • the story for youth as of 11 years old called "Bettina and Dani: Two climate friends in Basel" shows Basel and the diverse climate involvement of the city through the eyes of the two main speakers
  • "Lisa and the Penguin" for children from five years old and up has an animal protagonist. A small penguin runs away from the Basler Zolli to see the world. In the process, he meets a little girl called Lisa, who takes him on a bicycle to show him her city.

The ca. two and a half hour tour starts in the railway station concourse. The route takes visitors to a total of eleven stations, past the most beautiful squares and into the middle of interesting districts. The thematic bandwidth ranges from bicycle trips and bicycle networks, continues with regional food and vegan burgers up to modern urban planning and sustainable district management.
