The Flemish Department of Environment is organizing the #iktrekhetmijaan . This successor to Dikketruiendag (Thick Sweater Day) has put energy conservation at the top of the agenda since 2005, but in recent years it has expanded to include other climate-related topics.

This also raises awareness for issues like climate refugees, greening, and climate adaptation.

The Amsab-ISG Ecoteam is enthusiastically launching this campaign. Symbolically, we'll turn down the thermostat one degree that week and all put on extra thick sweaters. Our colleagues can warm up with hot chocolate and homemade soup, and we'll even offer a crochet class for beginners during their lunch break.

And of course, we're not losing sight of the #iktrekhetmijaan themes. From February 17th to 21st, we'll be posting something related to the campaign on our social media every day. And what better place to do this than our own collection? Amsab-ISG preserves the archives of nature and environmental movements and more recent climate movements, of political parties like Groen and its predecessor Agalev, and of individuals committed to the green cause. It's the perfect opportunity to introduce you to interesting collection items and archive creators.

So be sure to keep an eye on our Facebook and Instagram pages that week!
