Last Friday, we participated in Researchers' Night in both Barcelona and Pavia, where we showcased our GreenSCENT project and introduced the new board game, "Lulú: The Communication Barrier Breaker," developed in collaboration with ClearClimate and TransMedia Catalonia. The game, inspired by the format of snakes and ladders, has participants roll the dice to help Lulú organize an accessible sustainability event. Players pause when they encounter accessibility barriers, advance when accessibility is respected, and perform actions when landing on the accessibility symbol, such as signing their name.

We also hosted the workshop "Create Your Poster: Raising Awareness on Climate Change," where families explored how to ensure accessibility in climate-related information through poster creation.

A big thank you to Marta Brescia Zapata, Marina Pujadas Farreras, Sarah McDonagh, and Chiara Gunella for your support during Researchers' Night! And to all the fantastic partners we had the pleasure of meeting.

Special thanks to Irene Hermosa Ramírez, Xarxa AccessCat and TransMedia Catalonia for the outstanding coordination!
