After the success of the first edition, the NATURANCE project has launched the second edition of the Naturethon: “Citizens Growing Nature-Based Futures” .  Get inspired by high-profile talks, engage in the discussion with experts, and acquire skills to promote a tangible change in your territory. With the knowledge and insights gained from the training sessions, participants will be guided by facilitators in the design, implementation, and deployment of NbS in your local area, helping shape the vision of a greener, more resilient, and more inclusive future.

At the end of the initiative (December 8 – deadline extended), groups will share their ideas with the Naturethon team: choose your preferred format—text, drawing, video, or any creative medium. The Naturethon team will review all the ideas, giving back operative feedbacks to shape feasible and meaningful actions. Representatives of the three proposals that stand out for innovation, feasibility, and social and environmental impact will be hosted by the project at the upcoming Finance Innovation Festival in Brussels (February 3-5, 2026). 

There, they will have the opportunity to present the key highlights of their submission to an audience of international professionals. This will provide valuable feedback and suggestions for further improvement.
