Connecting Communities and Heritages against Climate Crisis

Whose voices have been heard in deciding how to live and act in response to the climate crisis? What would diverse, and especially marginalised, communities be asked about their views on how their cultural heritage connects with the futures hope for and imagine? What common and distinct calls for climate change action would arise when dialogue was facilitated between communities? How would their views change as they engaged locally and globally in dialogue about a sustainable future? 

A multinational, multipractice team (involving HE, FE, schools, youth groups, NGOs and Charities) have come together to design a research project embedded and articulated through a programme of knowledge generation activities using participatory approaches that are multilingual, multidisciplinary, multigenerational and multimodal to explore these questions and generate an inclusive manifesto for a sustainable future.
