😊 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.

@ctforestal These observations will be key for further improvements and development.
A big thank you to all the volunteers for their participation and feedback! 🙌

📣 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 ).

[SparkleFire @SparkleFireEU]

@ctforestal 📌 The session was highly successful and provided valuable insights into how external users perceive and interact with the game prototype.

Because today's young learners are tomorrow's resilient communities.

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.

[SparkleFire @SparkleFireEU]

By turning risk management into a game, we’re building a more resilient Europe.

🔥 Teaching wildfire prevention doesn’t have to be scary—it can be interactive! The Sparkids project is using LEGO, Minecraft, and hands-on play to empower the next generation to protect our landscapes. 🧱💻

[SparkleFire @SparkleFireEU]

SparkleFire is driven by people! Researchers, practitioners, communities, and digital volunteers collaborate to transform wildfire awareness into action through play. Soon, we'll introduce the team behind this exciting project!

[SparkleFire @SparkleFireEU]

🔥 Work in progress!
Today we’re pre-testing an early prototype of our serious board game with colleagues from @PauCostaF and @ctforestal 🙌
Learning by playing—boosting awareness on wildfire drivers, behaviour, prevention, and preparedness. 🎲
