Young people bear the brunt of the climate crisis effects. Their perspectives are crucial to tackling the complexity. Traditional forms of research, policy and practices are well-explored but may overlook interest from the youth. Involving arts and culture in community-engaged data collection approaches can complement traditional research methods. This Incubator aims to develop an art- and culture-based data collection approach embedded in education that will result in a multimedia database with short videos, testimonies, pictures, art forms or literary pieces developed by young people. By involving youth not only as subjects but also as active participants, the team intends torecognize their potential as agents of change in climate action.
