European reporters present eight solution-oriented stories for a more climate-friendly urban development in front of a live audience.
Music by members of Stegreif - The Improvising Symphony Orchestra
JIVE Climate is a joint production of CORRECTIV and Headliner.
Join us for the premiere of a stage show that will make waves in Germany! JIVE stands for a new way of presenting journalism: live, on stage, enriched with music by an orchestra. This genre, called live journalism, has already filled venues with over 2000 audience members in other countries.
The premiere in Berlin is a special edition: "JIVE Climate" brings together eight stories on how cities can effectively address climate change - not only in Germany, but throughout Europe. Inspiring approaches from Bochum to Barcelona will be presented by reporters who have researched the challenges and solutions in environmental and climate protection in their cities.
A special addition to the show is a quintet from the award-winning improvising orchestra Stegreif. Recompositions from the #bechange programme will be integrated, adding artistic value to the production.
Both musically and journalistically, a future becomes visible in which people actively strive towards climate protection and make a difference - very concretely, in their urban environment. The show juxtaposes the omnipresent stream of catastrophic news reports with the conviction that a more sustainable, fairer climate culture is possible and that everyone can make a contribution.
During the intermission and after the show, the theater foyer turns into an open marketplace where viewers get the chance to exchange ideas with experts or actively support one of the causes. There will also be the opportunity to exchange ideas with the performers.
JIVE Climate is a joint production of CORRECTIV and Headliner, made possible by the support from the Allianz Foundation as part of the Climate Cultures Call as well as the Journalismfund Europe.

THE STORIES EIGHT TIMES TRANSFORMATION
01
Pascal Mühle
CLEVER COOLING
DE
A watertight case study on how cities—such as Paris or Singapore—are using remote cooling systems and computer simulations to combat their urban heat islands and extreme humidity, in this, the hottest year since global tempera-ture records began.
02
Sarah Kröger
FROM THE CONCRETE WASTE TO SPONGE CITY
DE
A personal return to brutalist Bochum and a shared story of heroism, from the first city in the Ruhr region to declare a climate emergency in 2019. Bochum has gone on to become a role model for climate adaptation, thanks to underground reservoirs and inner-city orchards.
03
Sylke van Duijnen
INDOOR HEAT REPORTING WITH THE PUBLIC
ENG
A field report from a co-created citizen-science project in Amsterdam, where scientists and journalists have worked together to analyse thermostat data from volunteer citi-zens to better understand increasing heatwaves.
04
Sven Niederhäuser & Samuel Hufschmid
IST HIER NOCH FREI?
A two-person rap about the Swiss phenomenon of the car-park. Their results show other cities around the world how (CORRECTIV-led) crowd research can contribute to climate-friendly urban development.

FIGHTING CLIMATE CHANGE WITH SUPERBLOCKS
ENG
Judit Alonso Gonzalbez
A power-play presentation about the rise—and correction —of a sustainable mobility concept from Barcelona that has become a global model for transport transition. In other words: how much confrontation, and consensus, transfor-mation truly needs.
06
Jan Petter
SKANDERBORG, CITY OF PIONEERS
DE
A home visit to the politicians of Skanderborg, said to be the most exciting (!) small town in Europe in terms of climate policy. Not because it has, as predicted, become the first municipality without new buildings. But because they now know: we must change the politics, not the climate.
07
James Jackson
FINLAND AS A TRAILBLAZER TO MAKE USE OF EXCESS HEAT
An entertaining environmental investigation from Finland, one of Europe‘s freezers and at the same time holder of the most ambitious climate targets. How? Because it’s become a heat-pump winner, using waste heat from unexpected sources and producing the most district heating per capita.

AHOI UTOPIA
DE
Greta Taubert
A hilarious roadshow about the quest to find utopia, and how far people can really paddle out with the help of their imagination—whether on floating universities in Berlin or in floating cow-barns in Myanmar.
