Hello Anaïs,
We are taking part to the initiative with the citizens collective Lambersart Demain (Lille Eurometropolis, Northern France). We will post 3 photos of significative locations in the city where citizens are concerned and send by mail the related masks captures particles next day. Thanks for sharing this sense making inclusive learning action! We see the potential to upscale this approach within NEB-Lab ECO2-SCHOOLS. Kind regards, cbartholeyns@eco2-schools.eu

Hello @educationforclimate Community, Sky in Me Action is launched this morning for 24h with Citizens collective "Lambersart demain, c'est aujourd'hui" (Northern France, crossborder Eurometropolis Lille-Kortijk-Tournai).

Here an overview of the installation, the filters will be collected tomorrow morning and send to Paris "Parliament of the Clouds". We publish the High Resolution photos on the platform.

Cloudy weather, the winter heating and car pollution is there, so Today is the right Time to make a side step and take Action ! #NewEuropeanBauhaus #NEB-LabEco2-schools
