The project will develop the CAL/CMUK Ecologies in Practice collaboration initiated in 2021-22, to become a research partnership. We will network firstly among local schools and community groups, and will initiate three arts-based methods for young people to interact with, each involving a collaboration with two practitioners. Each method is designed to engage young people with climate research through creative and reflective practice. Method 1 will involve a collaboration between Kimberley Foster of CAL and Bridget McKenzie of CMUK. This practice research method will work with objects, bringing together Kimberley's practice of stimulating dialogue from pedagogical art objects with Bridget's object-based practice, that places 'an eco lens on things'. Objects will ideally be viewed in-person, with an option for socially-distanced viewing if necessary. Method 2 will involve a collaboration between Kevin Davidson of CAL/CMUK and Michael Kirkpatrick of CAL/Alchemy Music. These practitioners will work with sound and photography, bringing together Michael's practice of socially-engaged music-making with Kevin's practice of arts-based community exchange. This collaboration will draw upon the arts-based method of 'photovoice' (Wang & Burris 1997, Sutton-Brown 2015) in which participants are invited to take photographs in their everyday lives on relevant themes. Following this, participants uncover the meaning which may be ascribed to their photographs through creative practice with the support and guidance of researchers.Method 3 will invite participants to express affect and ideas through free writing and drawing practice research led by Dr. Miranda Matthews Head of CAL. Young people will be invited to visualise and verbalise climate change interventions. This method will extend the free writing and drawing practice developed by Miranda and Francis Gilbert, for groups of young people aged 14-18, and for undergraduates (Gilbert and Matthews 2021, Matthews 2021). We intend that participants will be groups of young Londoners from a number of different communities, with whom the practitioners will extend working relationships. We aim to develop cultural ecologies through participatory research into the Earth crisis, by bringing together young people from communities in schools, and including Goldsmiths undergraduates. The research will make networking connections with Climate Museum UK and with other associated significant initiatives, that will distribute the resources created through the project. Our networking activity will include connection with:-The Alchemy project: a professional creative music lab and mentoring programme for 14-18 year olds who may be at risk from exclusion at school in the London borough of Lewisham and based at Goldsmiths University.

Tower Hamlets Artist Teacher Network: A forum for artist-teachers in the borough of Tower Hamlets, and arts organisations across London, ' to connect; collaborate; create; share good practice; promote arts education and actively empower art teachers to revisit their art practice'. (https://thatnetworklondon.wordpress.com)The CAL/CMUK Ecologies in Practice project aims to create forms of public engagement that are led by young people, expressing their views on climate research in ways that feel relevant and meaningful to them. We intend to generate new cultural spaces and potential networks, in which young people may take ownership over narratives around the climate crisis, and where sustainable behaviours and creative ideas are integrated and extended.

该项目将发展CAL/CMUK在实践中的合作，于2021-22年启动，成为一个研究伙伴关系。我们会首先与本地学校和社区团体建立联系，并会推出三种以艺术为基础的方法，让青少年与之互动，每种方法都涉及与两名从业者的合作。每一种方法都旨在通过创造性和反思性的实践使年轻人参与气候研究。方法1将涉及加州大学的金伯利福斯特和CMUK的布里奇特麦肯齐之间的合作。这种实践研究方法将与对象一起工作，将金伯利从教学艺术对象中激发对话的实践与布里奇特基于对象的实践结合起来，将“一个生态透镜放在事物上”。理想情况下，对象将被亲自观看，如果必要的话，可以选择社交距离观看。方法2将涉及加州大学/CMUK的凯文戴维森和加州大学/炼金术音乐的迈克尔柯克帕特里克之间的合作。这些从业者将与声音和摄影，汇集迈克尔的社会参与音乐制作与凯文的艺术为基础的社区交流实践的做法。这项合作将借鉴基于艺术的“摄影声音”方法（Wang & Burris 1997，Sutton-Brown 2015），邀请参与者在日常生活中拍摄相关主题的照片。方法3将邀请参与者通过自由写作和绘画实践研究来表达他们的情感和想法，由CAL主任米兰达马修斯博士领导。年轻人将被邀请可视化和口头表达气候变化干预措施。这种方法将扩展由米兰达和弗朗西斯吉尔伯特开发的自由写作和绘画实践，适用于14-18岁的年轻人群体和本科生（吉尔伯特和马修斯2021，马修斯2021）。我们打算让来自不同社区的年轻伦敦人参加，与他们建立工作关系。我们的目标是通过对地球危机的参与性研究来发展文化生态，将来自社区的年轻人聚集在一起，包括金史密斯大学的本科生。该研究将与英国气候博物馆和其他相关的重要举措建立网络联系，这将分配通过该项目创建的资源。我们的网络活动将包括与以下项目的联系：-炼金术项目：一个专业的创意音乐实验室和指导方案，为14-18奥尔兹谁可能在学校被排斥在伦敦区刘易舍姆和金史密斯大学的风险。（https：//linktr.ee/goldsmithsalchemy）.伦敦学校生态网络：一个由学生领导的倡议，旨在提高学校社区内外对环境问题的认识。这与“改变我们的世界”在线、集中、质量评级的资源中心和2020年青年气候峰会（https：//twitter.com/ldnschoolseco，https://www.lsen.co.uk，https：//www.transform-our-world.org/home）相关联。Tower Hamlets艺术家教师网络：为Tower Hamlets自治市的艺术家教师和伦敦各地的艺术组织提供论坛，"联系;合作;创造;分享良好实践;促进艺术教育并积极授权艺术教师重新审视他们的艺术实践“。（https：thatnetworklondon.wordpress.com）CAL/CMUK生态实践项目旨在创造由年轻人领导的公众参与形式，以他们认为相关和有意义的方式表达他们对气候研究的看法。我们打算创造新的文化空间和潜在的网络，让年轻人能够主导关于气候危机的叙述，并将可持续行为和创造性想法结合在一起并加以推广。
