Are you as a human being a part of nature? Is nature a part of you?
Reclaiming Futures, Storying Change (“UNGA FRAMTIDSSKAPARE”, in Swedish, project leader Cecilia Åsberg) is a research communication project that deploys environmental humanities as a form of citizen arts to flip the classroom script and empower young creativity and criticality among early adults and youngsters 15–19 years of age.
Young people set the agenda for conversations about the environment, the climate, and the future. Through workshops, filmmaking, conversations, and a science festival, the young people shape their relationship with the natural environment and climate impact. The project is a way to investigate new forms of science communication of climate change and posthumanities.
