Unfiltered Coast

沿海社区的年轻人处于气候变化的前线，但缺乏动员他们采取气候行动所需的文化和科学资本。通过在特定地点举办的创意实践研讨会，“未经过滤的海岸”项目将赋予这些难以到达的社区的年轻人权力。它将使他们了解气候变化的影响，鼓励他们考虑自己在不断变化的环境中的地位和影响，并激励他们参与有助于沟通和解决气候变化问题的研究。“未经过滤的海岸”将利用广阔的肯特海岸线作为试点，建立国家参与作为该项目的遗产的一部分。研究鉴于多学科团队，该项目连接到跨艺术和人文科学和自然科学的各种研究链。这包括：（1）代表性策略（视听和文学），支持，加强或颠覆对地方的理解，包括人与人的不可分割性2）艺术主导的环保行动主义，特别是围绕蓝色和绿色空间的活动3）最佳实践社区参与的研究，吸引服务不足的观众4）可持续材料科学，农业和能源研究，以实现循环经济目标1）鼓励年轻人与他们的沿海地区之间的联系，促进对环境和生态的责任感2）激发对气候研究的兴趣，通过一系列方法激励年轻人，包括创造性实践3）促进年轻人探索和交流气候挑战4）激励年轻人继续艺术-该项目的活动集中在沿着肯特海岸的两个创意实践“步行商店”。这些将在项目的第一个月与新成立的青年领导的气候变化工作组共同设计。自我审核将在“实地考察”前后进行，作为参与活动和我们评估方法的一部分。“walkshops”中出现的创意成果将被纳入项目结束展览，以配合COP 26。这将发生在拉姆斯盖特场地和参观我们的合作伙伴组织的场地在坎特伯雷。还将举办一个项目结束论坛，供参与的青年人与当地决策者接触。收集到的数据和输出的存储库将被整理成一个数字存储库，使英国其他沿海地区的青年社区能够参与并添加到数据中。目标受众和项目合作伙伴该项目将涉及居住在肯特沿海地区的14-18岁的年轻人。如计划文件所示，这些沿海地区特别容易受到气候变化和相关环境因素以及由此产生的社会经济影响的影响。肯特沿海地区有大量的年轻人被认为很难接触到，文化和科学资本低，接受高等教育的机会少，参与气候行动的机会有限。我们将通过现有的青年网络接触这些受众，例如ART 31，这是由我们的项目合作伙伴-Gulbenkian促进的。项目初期将设立一个由青年领导的工作组，以确保在整个时间轴内采取自下而上的办法。这将增加参与者参与气候对话的信心。它将为年轻人提供独特的机会，让他们参与以艺术为主导的气候行动。它将弥合年轻人和研究人员之间的差距，旨在打破对学术工作的先入为主的观念。它有可能提高公众认识和影响政策。

OutlineYoung people in coastal communities are at the front line of climate change but are underserved with the cultural and science capital needed to mobilise them towards climate action. Through creative practice workshops taking place in site-specific locations, the 'Unfiltered Coast' project will empower young people in these hard-to-reach communities. It will engage them with the effects of climate change, encourage them to consider their place in and influence on the evolving environment, and inspire them to engage in research that will help communicate and tackle climate change issues. 'Unfiltered Coast' will use the vast Kent coastline as a pilot, building towards national engagement as part of the project's legacy.ResearchGiven the multi-disciplinary team, the project connects to various strands of research across the Arts and Humanities and Natural Sciences. This includes:1) Representational strategies (audio-visual and literary) that support, strengthen or subvert understandings of places, including the inseparability of humans and their environs2) Arts-led environmental activism, especially that which centres around blue and green space3) Best practice community-engaged research that engages underserved audiences4) Sustainable materials science, agriculture and energy research towards a circular economy Aims1) to encourage a connection between young people and their coastal locations, promoting a sense of responsibility towards its environs and ecology2) to fuel an interest in climate research, inspiring young people via a range of methods that includes creative practice3) to facilitate young people in their exploration and communication of climate challenges4) to motivate young people to continue arts-led climate activism ActivitiesThe project's activity centres on two creative practice 'walkshops' taking place along the Kent coast. These will be co-designed with a newly established youth-led Climate Change Working Group in the first month of the project. Self-audits will occur before and after the 'walkshops' as part of the engagement activity and our evaluation methods. Creative outputs emerging from the 'walkshops' will feed into an end-of-project exhibition to coincide with COP26. This will take place in a Ramsgate venue and tour to our partner organisation's venue in Canterbury. There will also be an end-of-project forum for the participating young people to engage with local policymakers. Data collected and the repository of outputs will be collated as a digital repository that will allow youth communities in other coastal parts of the UK to engage with and add to the data.Target Audience and Project PartnerThe project will involve young people aged 14-18 who live in coastal areas in Kent. As evidenced in the plan document, these coastal areas are especially vulnerable to climate change and related environmental factors as well as the resulting socio-economic implications. Coastal areas in Kent have a high number of young people considered hard to reach, with low cultural and science capital, poor access to higher education and limited opportunities to engage with climate action. We will reach these audiences via already existing youth networks, such as ART31, which is facilitated by our Project Partner - the Gulbenkian. A youth-led working group will be established early on in the project to ensure a bottom-up approach to the project throughout its timeline.Outcomes and Potential ImpactThe activity will serve to increase the sense of responsibility felt by young people to their coastal environs. It will increase confidence in the participants to take part in climate conversations. It will develop unique opportunities for young people to engage in art-led climate activism. It will bridge the gap between young people and researchers, aiming to break down preconceived notions about academic work. It has the potential to raise public awareness and influence policy.
