We just wrapped up another consortium meeting to review the project’s progress. ☺️
👉 Next: we’ll be at the 10th International Conference on Forest Fire Research in 📍Coimbra and at the EU Civil Protection Forum in 📍Brussels.
Stay tuned for more updates next week.
😊 This week, the Sparkle Fire consortium came together to review ongoing work, exchange updates, and align on the next steps.
Another productive meeting, and always a pleasure to connect with partners from across the consortium!

😊Yesterday, we had a consortium meeting to review the project's progress, share updates, and discuss the next steps.
As always, it's great to catch up, even if it's only on screen.
We held the @FIRESCENE_KAPP and #SparkleFire seminar at @ctforestal
👉 Social dimensions of wildfires by #ConceiçãoColaço @isagronomia and presentations of #RURALEX #WUICOM @FIREPRIME_EU #RESIST and #RePICa projects.
Communities at the centre of disaster resilient societies!
Learning about wildfires can be engaging too.
The SparkleFire project is developing educational games and activities to help communities better understand wildfire risk, prevention, and resilience.
Because prevention starts with knowledge.

📣 Game testing!
On 18th June, a test session of the #SparkleFire board game prototype was carried out with volunteers from the Forest Science and Technology Centre of Catalonia ( @ctforestal ).
📌 The session was highly successful and provided valuable insights into how external users perceive and interact with the game prototype.
Wildfire education doesn't have to happen only in the classroom.
Through Sparkids, children learn about wildfire prevention, landscape management, and resilience through hands-on activities that make learning engaging, practical, and fun.
Because today's young learners are tomorrow's resilient communities.
