This project aims to create a connection between the citizens and the urban and peri-urban forests of the city of Barcelona, intending to prepare the people for the annual forests conference and the international recognition that will take place in Barcelona in 2022, organized by the European Forest Institute. 

The aim is to link the scientific and education fields through five sessions addressed to the citizens, talking about different topics regarding the benefits of the urban and peri-urban forests. The topics that will be discussed are green pedagogy, health, bioenergy, citizen science and the mountain of Collserola. In addition, a session with local authorities and entities will be organized to promote a citizen approach in their activities. These sessions have the purpose of feeding into the program of the congress, that will dedicate a whole day to the citizens, highlighting their real worries and needs.
