Five shortlisted projects move on to the second phase of Micelio <35

Five projects have passed to «Phase 2: Proposal» of Micelio<35, the fifth Concomitentes Participatory Art Call, aimed at citizen groups of young people under 35 who want to address an environmental challenge in their environment through a new participatory-artistic project.

This second phase will be remunerated with 200 euros (taxable base) and includes a mentoring session by the Concomitentes team and the possibility to present the project to the jury that will select the winner.

The five projects are:

Community Climate Shelter (Zaragoza)
A small group of young activists linked to Amigas de la Tierra Aragón proposes to create a community and accessible climate refuge in Zaragoza, in response to the loss of green areas and youth meeting spaces. The project aims to create a self-managed space that combines urban gardening, coexistence, play and rest, with a focus on urban biodiversity, climate justice and accessibility for people with functional diversity. Its goal is to inspire other models of greener, more inclusive and resilient cities.

Cinzas (Casaio, Ourense)
The Decrúa Association, which focuses on cultural dynamisation in the Galician countryside, is proposing the project Cinzas to think about possible futures in the Montes de Casaio, a territory of high ecological and historical value that has been severely damaged by recent fires. The project proposes to articulate memory and future through cultural and community activities that promote the sustainable management of the forest, the conservation of the Teixadal and the recovery of the relationship between community and landscape.

Before the bush dies (Fasgar, León)
BotaniKs is an interdisciplinary group of students and researchers in biology, forestry engineering and law that seeks to give a voice to the invisible organisms affected by the great fire of August 2025 in Fasgar and Omaña (Léon). Their proposal is an ode to the resilience of forests, focusing on the Montrondo birch grove and endangered species such as the Cantabrian capercaillie. They aim to raise awareness of ecological regeneration, encourage the recovery of native forests and promote a non-extractivist approach to the territory.

Warp. Lumbres Climatic Refuge (Jaén)
The Urdimbre collective, made up of young professionals from disciplines such as art, education, social work and socio-anthropology, together with the mediator María Cuevas, proposes a climatic refuge in the Patio of the Popular University of Jaén: a green, cool and free space, especially for groups vulnerable to heat. The project aims to offer an environment for rest, play and eco-social imagination, with adapted furniture, cultural activities and a collective wellbeing approach that prioritises care, inclusion and the decommodification of time and space.

Més clar que l'aigua (Sapeira, Lleida)
The Sapeira neighbourhood association and the Usnea RP collective, together with the mediator Ana Pardo López, are promoting a project that explores new forms of community water governance in a Pyrenean environment affected by climate change and depopulation. The initiative seeks to activate shared vegetable gardens, test collective water management agreements and open up spaces for participation to imagine sustainable futures. By conceiving water as a common good, the project proposes a living model of resilience and collective care in the face of the environmental and social challenges of the territory.
