Today we held a walk-shop during the Climate Event at University Twente. This was our program:
A speculative Climate Walk-shop: Walking to (re)imagine nature-inclusive climate solutions
How might a sensory experience of the environment be a catalyst for reimagining nature-inclusive climate solutions?
- What? Nature-inclusive Climate Walk-shop
- When? November 5th, 12:45-13:45 (so enough time for a quick lunch before we leave)
- Where? Starting point at Climate Centre Event
- For who? Anyone interested
Re-engage with your surroundings
During this walk-shop we will explore nature-inclusive climate solutions that address affective, experiential, and cultural dimensions of nature. The activity will take the themes of the Climate Centre Event – energy, food, water – outside the walls of the conference venue to see what happens when we use our senses to re-engage with our surroundings (e.g., smell, touch, hearing). Walking in small groups, we will share knowledge that may be typically neglected from our usual professional activities, reassess place-based connections to nature and extend our perspectives on what may be climate solutions linking cultural heritage, sense of place and ecological knowledge.
The walk-shop is co-organised by Alexandria Poole (BMS/Philosophy), Corelia-Baibarac-Duignan (BMS/KiTeS), Sean Vrielink (ET) and Eefje Hendriks (ICT) in collaboration with the RUrban Futures Collective at BMS.
If you are interested in alternative ways of learning and innovating, please join this lunchtime walk-shop!
Results from our participant groups today:
Participants reported learning a lot from their experiences. Aside from specific experiences, they also mentioned each others' knowledge, focussing on only one topic or one sense, and the whole walk-shop being a good way to open up discussion on a topic.
