The project will use multispecies storytelling to engage disadvantaged groups in the north west in decision making processes about landscape and land use. The project follows on from the successful AHRC 'Connecting disadvantaged young people with landscape through arts', 'Stories2Connect' and 'Multispecies Storytelling: More than human narratives about landscape' projects, all of which use storytelling in participatory ways. These projects have worked with disadvantaged and disabled young people, children, and diverse groups of community farm users. The methods and learning gained from previous projects are being brought together and synthesised to engage new audiences, collaborate with new stakeholder organisations and develop new themes of work. Specifically, the project will use multispecies storytelling to develop multisensory artefacts about landscape that capture the voices of marginalised communities and disadvantaged groups and respond to a variety of different ways of making sense of the world. Understanding a landscape from the 'memory' of an oak tree, 'seeing' the land as a bee might, experiencing a space as a soundscape or through touch or smell invites thinking about landscape and land use from different perspectives, through other timeframes and scales. Multispecies approaches have been effective in engaging people with issues related to biodiversity loss and climate change and can encourage identifications and connections with land, environments and other species who inhabit them. They also prompt consideration of whose stories about landscape are being told, and who is enabled to tell them.The follow on funding will be used to expand work with organisations linked to the existing projects and enhance the reach and impact of the projects with new stakeholder organisations. Connections with Burscough Community Farm, Rusland Horizons Trust, Blackpool Council, Art Gene, the Society for Children's Book Writers and Illustrators, local artists and professional storytellers will be maintained and new partnerships with the National Autistic Society, Natural England, Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust Martin Mere, Williamson Art Gallery and Museum and The Chapel Gallery will be enabled by the follow on funding. Through the partners, the project will continue to work with community farm users and young people with disabilities and will also include young people with autism, facilitated by the National Autistic Society. The project will, through new and existing partners, expand the geographical coverage of the previous projects further across the north west to reach new audiences through the partner organisations that have agreed to provide venues for exhibitions and events.The project will utilise innovative participatory methodologies and resources developed in the previous projects which will be applied in the co-creation of a new series of multisensory artefacts that will be curated and exhibited at different indoor and outdoor sites across the north west. The multisensory artefacts and environments developed will use multispecies storytelling and, as well as visual aspects, may also employ, for example, sound, smell, space and touch to respond to the needs and understandings of a wide range of potential users, rather than prioritising traditional or limited sensory engagements with the world. The exhibitions will be accompanied by key events to which decision makers from stakeholder groups and those organisations with vested interests in landscape and land use will be invited.

该项目将使用多物种的故事，使西北地区的弱势群体参与有关景观和土地使用的决策过程。该项目是继AHRC成功的“通过艺术将弱势年轻人与景观联系起来”、“Stories2Connect”和“多物种讲故事：不仅仅是人类对景观的叙述”项目之后的后续项目，所有这些项目都以参与性的方式讲故事。这些项目与处境不利和残疾的年轻人、儿童以及社区农场用户的各种群体合作。从以前的项目中获得的方法和学习正在汇集和综合，以吸引新的受众，与新的利益相关者组织合作，并开发新的工作主题。具体而言，该项目将使用多物种讲故事来开发关于景观的多感官人工制品，捕捉边缘化社区和弱势群体的声音，并回应各种不同的方式来理解世界。从橡树的“记忆”中理解景观，像蜜蜂一样“看到”土地，体验空间作为声景或通过触摸或嗅觉，邀请从不同的角度思考景观和土地利用，通过其他时间框架和尺度。多物种方法在让人们参与处理与生物多样性丧失和气候变化有关的问题方面一直很有效，并能鼓励人们与土地、环境和栖息在其中的其他物种进行认同和联系。这些项目还促使人们考虑谁的景观故事正在被讲述，以及谁能够讲述这些故事。后续资金将用于扩大与现有项目相关组织的合作，并与新的利益相关者组织一起加强项目的覆盖面和影响力。与Burscough社区农场，拉斯兰地平线信托基金，布莱克浦理事会，艺术基因，儿童图书作家和插画家，当地艺术家和专业说书人的社会将保持联系，并与国家自闭症协会，自然英格兰，野禽和湿地信托马丁梅尔，威廉姆森艺术画廊和博物馆和教堂画廊将通过后续资金启用新的伙伴关系。通过合作伙伴，该项目将继续与社区农场用户和残疾青年合作，并在国家自闭症协会的协助下，将自闭症青年包括在内。该项目将通过新的和现有的合作伙伴，将以往计划的地域复盖范围进一步扩展至西北部，透过已同意提供展览和活动场地的伙伴机构接触新的观众。该计划将利用以往计划所发展的创新参与方法和资源，创造了一系列新的多感官文物，将在西北部不同的室内和室外场地进行策划和展出。开发的多感官人工制品和环境将使用多物种讲故事，以及视觉方面，也可能采用例如声音，嗅觉，空间和触觉来响应广泛的潜在用户的需求和理解，而不是优先考虑传统或有限的感官与世界的接触。展览将伴随着重要活动，将邀请利益相关者团体的决策者和在景观和土地使用方面有既得利益的组织参加。
