The arts and humanities can help us to reimagine socio-ecological futures and this impact is increasingly becoming recognised. The role of popular music is perhaps crucial but remains an under-explored area when addressing the challenge of climate change (e.g. Brennan et al. 2019). Our previous AHRC-funded projects, Fields of Green and When Tomorrow Becomes Yesterday, began to critically examine how song-writing and music can help to reimagine and shape the future of cities. This project roots these song-writing methods in the experience of one place - the Carbon Landscape - with our partner The Wildlife Trust for Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside (LWT).The aim of this project is to explore the capacity of popular song to help our target audience of 14 - 18 year olds in Wigan and Leigh to imagine the future of the Carbon Landscape in the context of climate change. In doing so, the project will:- explore young people's perceptions of past, present and future climate change through song-writing;- provide the opportunity for young people to connect with different generations in their local communities and the Carbon Landscape partnership to talk about climate change; and,- to understand and prompt young people engage to engage with wider conversations around wetland restoration in Greater Manchester and the future of the Carbon Landscape. We will engage with a maximum of 10 young people, which is conducive to the participatory nature of the song-writing process. Three workshops will take place: two are in-person and one will be online. Workshop 1 will begin with a site visit to the Carbon Landscape to explain thousands of years of change through the unifying aspect of carbon. Following the site introduction, participants will work with the academics and song-writers through a combination of the Roundview (to frame activities) and song-writing to draw out the emotional connections to the Carbon Landscape within the context of climate change. The Roundview uses graphics and hands-on tools to engage and educate people about ecology and sustainability, and to motivate and inspire people to engage with sustainable futures (Tippett and How, 2017). Song-writing workshops have also been successfully used to bring people together and to connect to the on an emotional level regarding climate change that similar techniques have been unable to utilise (Urie et al., 2019). Through this process, we anticipate that up to two songs will be collectively produced.Workshop 2 will explore young people's ideas for making a video of the song for dissemination purposes. In this workshop, other methods of dissemination will also be discussed and we will take our young participants lead (e.g. using short insights for Tik Tok) which may help effective peer-to-peer dissemination to occur. Both of these workshops will take place on two consecutive days and, at the end, the song-writers will perform at a live music performance in the Lancashire Mining Museum, Astely Green (https://lancashireminingmuseum.org/).Following video production, a further online workshop will be held with the young people, the Carbon Landscape partners, and members of the local community (through connected residents groups) Participants will be shown the resultant videos and asked to reflect on difference that song-writing made to the way that adults thought about this landscape and its future in the context of climate change. Partners in the Carbon Landscape include Natural England, The Environment Agency, Manchester City of Trees, and Salford, Wigan and Warrington Borough Councils. This workshop will not only help the evaluation of the project but will encourage inter-generational dialogue on the subject of climate change and post-industrial landscapes.

艺术和人文学科可以帮助我们重新想象社会生态的未来，这种影响越来越被认识到。流行音乐的作用可能是至关重要的，但在应对气候变化的挑战时仍然是一个未被充分开发的领域(例如，Brennan等人。2019年)。我们之前由AHRC资助的项目，绿色的田野和当明天变成昨天，开始批判性地研究歌曲创作和音乐如何帮助重新想象和塑造城市的未来。该项目与我们的合作伙伴兰开夏郡、曼彻斯特和北默西塞德郡野生动物信托基金(LWT)一起，将这些歌曲创作方法植根于一个地方-碳景观。该项目的目的是探索流行歌曲的能力，帮助我们在维甘和利14-18岁的目标受众在气候变化的背景下想象碳景观的未来。在此过程中，该项目将：-通过歌曲创作探索年轻人对过去、现在和未来气候变化的看法；-为年轻人提供机会，让他们与当地社区的不同世代和Carbon Landscape伙伴关系谈论气候变化；以及-了解并促使年轻人参与围绕大曼彻斯特湿地恢复和Carbon Landscape的未来的更广泛的对话。我们将与最多10名年轻人接触，这有利于歌曲创作过程的参与性。将举办三个讲习班：两个是面对面的，一个是在线的。研讨会1将从实地考察碳景观开始，通过碳的统一方面解释数千年来的变化。在网站介绍之后，参与者将通过Roundview(框定活动)和歌曲创作的结合，与学者和歌曲作者合作，在气候变化的背景下绘制与碳景观的情感联系。Roundview使用图形和实践工具来吸引和教育人们关于生态和可持续发展，并激励和激励人们参与可持续发展的未来(Tippett and How，2017)。歌曲创作讲习班也被成功地用来将人们聚集在一起，并在类似技术无法利用的关于气候变化的情感层面上建立联系(Urie等人，2019年)。通过这一过程，我们预计将共同制作最多两首歌曲。工作坊2将探讨年轻人将歌曲录制成视频以供传播的想法。在这次研讨会中，我们还将讨论其他传播方法，我们将带领我们的年轻参与者(例如，使用Tik Tok的简短见解)，这可能有助于进行有效的点对点传播。这两个研讨会将连续两天举行，最后，歌曲作者将在兰开夏郡采矿博物馆的现场音乐表演中表演，Astely Green(https://lancashireminingmuseum.org/).Following视频制作，将与年轻人、碳景观合作伙伴和当地社区成员(通过互联的居民团体)举行另一个在线研讨会，参与者将被展示产生的视频，并被要求反思歌曲创作对成年人在气候变化背景下思考这一景观及其未来的方式所产生的差异。碳景观的合作伙伴包括自然英格兰、环境局、曼彻斯特树木之城，以及索尔福德、维根和沃灵顿区议会。这一讲习班不仅将有助于对该项目的评价，而且将鼓励关于气候变化和工业后环境问题的代际对话。请参阅《受益者和影响》，以了解潜在影响。
