How can fiction and poetry be utilized by activists and policy makers to critically assess and improve policy processes and outcomes?

虽然政策参与的过程最近迅速和显着的发展，决策仍然是由那些谁很少生活在英国人民面临的问题占主导地位。这减少了政治参与，增加了对领导人的不信任，并可能导致无效和不可持续的政策解决方案。小说和诗歌目前在政策制定者的世界里利用不足，仅仅被用作政治宣传的工具，当它也可以用来把人们聚集在一起，了解生活经验，并且本身就是政策制定者获得进一步洞察力的有力证据基础，以便实施更有效的解决方案。本研究将探讨并提供实用的建议，以回答：1）小说和诗歌如何被活动家（灭绝叛乱，交叉环保主义者）和政策制定者利用来批判性地评估和改善政策过程和结果？2)小说和诗歌如何被用来连接政策和活动家代理人更好的公共政策参与？2)小说和诗歌对塑造个人和集体对关键社会和环境问题的态度有什么影响，这如何影响政策代理人和活动家的政治行为？在批判性地评估两个活动家（S）组织和政策代理人的立场和观点，我们可以利用小说和诗歌的方式，允许促进一个关键的空间来挑战个人和集体的态度，进一步扩展小说和诗歌在政治中的功能，以产生更有效，可实施和可持续的政策解决方案。

Though the processes of policy engagement have recently rapidly and significantly developed, decisiontables are still dominated by those who rarely live the problems people in the UK face. This decreasespolitical engagement, increases mistrust in leaders, and can potentially lead to ineffective andunsustainable policy solutions. Fiction and poetry is currently under-utilised within the policy engagementworld, and merely used as a tool of political propaganda, when it can also be used to bring peopletogether, understand lived experiences, and be itself a powerful evidence base for policy makers to gainfurther insight in order to implement more effective solutions. This research will explore and providepractical recommendations to answering:1) How can fiction and poetry be utilized by activists (Extinction Rebellion, The IntersectionalEnvironmentalist) and policy makers to critically assess and improve policy processes and outcomes?2) How can fiction and poetry be used to connect policy and activist agents for better public policyengagement?2) What impact can/does fiction and poetry have on shaping individual and collective attitudes to keysocial and environmental issues, and how does this influence political behaviour in policy agents andactivists?In critically evaluating the standpoints and perspectives of both activist(s) organisations and policyagents, we can utilise fiction and poetry in a way that allows for the facilitation of a critical space tochallenge individual and collective attitudes, further extending fiction and poetry's function in politics togenerate more effective, implementable and sustainable policy solutions.
