2023
A story already underway, yet still in its early days. Educational workshops, learning materials, exhibitions, and soon The Guardians of Balance game… Yeko & Hina have already begun their mission to raise awareness and inspire action. Very soon, we will share here the figures and achievements that trace their journey and highlight the growing impact of their actions for the planet.
The initiative
Born as a natural extension to give a soul to ENERGIES 2050’s mission, Yeko & Hina embody the original inspiration that has never faded since the creation of the association.
Rooted in a narrative that intertwines legends, ancestral knowledge, and contemporary challenges, our mascots symbolize the urgent need to protect the planet and all forms of life it shelters.
Through their stories and adventures, they connect peoples, generations, and cultures around a shared pact: to respect, preserve, and restore harmony between humanity and the Earth.
Through playful, artistic, and educational tools: videos, workshops, educational kits, and soon an immersive game, they plant “seeds” of ideas and inspiration, inviting everyone to become, in turn, a guardian of balance.
Every action, whether a workshop, an exhibition, an educational resource, or an immersive game, becomes an invitation to understand, to act, and to imagine a sustainable future.
Yeko & Hina do more than raise awareness: they inspire concrete commitments, mobilizing art, creativity, and cooperation to make each person an active agent of change.
The tale
Since the dawn of time, Mother Nature, guardian of the world’s original wisdom, has watched over the balance of life.
She carries within her the memory of the cycles, the power of the elements, and the wisdom of peoples who learned to live in harmony with the Earth.
To safeguard this harmony, she entrusted two luminous beings with a sacred mission: Yeko, Guardian of the Forests and Mountains, and Hina, Guardian of the Skies and Waters.
Yeko speaks the language of roots and stones, heals wounded lands, and breathes life back into forgotten places. Hina sings with the winds and waves, purifies the waters, and guides the unseen migrations of the creatures of the air and the sea.
Together, they journey across the world’s landscapes, carrying a universal message: every being—human, animal, plant, or mineral—has its place and role in the balance of life.
They remind us that our bonds with the Earth are sacred, and that to protect her is to protect our own future.
Guardians of Balance
Our immersive game where you are the hero.
Guardians of Balance is an independent ecological adventure game featuring Yeko and Hina, our two small guardians born from Mother Nature herself, tasked with preserving the balance of Earth’s habitats.
After sleeping for millennia, they awaken to a wounded planet: forests destroyed, oceans polluted, mountains exploited without restraint. Humanity, consumed by its quest for progress, has forgotten its ancestral promises and broken the natural balance. The Earth is calling for help.
In response, Yeko and Hina embark on a quest to restore the lost harmony and remind everyone of the importance of honouring the ancient pacts between humankind and nature. Their adventure comes to life in an immersive game, with the first four levels launching by the end of 2025, blending exploration, puzzles, and ecosystem restoration… and this is where YOU step in!
But the game is only one chapter in a larger story: Yeko & Hina are also at the heart of a growing bouquet of activities (educational workshops, exhibitions, multimedia content, learning materials, and cultural events…) all designed to raise awareness, inspire, and mobilize for a sustainable future. Each offers the opportunity to extend their mission and invites everyone to become, in both the game and real life, a guardian of balance.
