Duration: 28/2/22 – 27/5/2024
Goals
The ARDES Project will develop and validate a short learning programme in Art & Design & Sustainability for higher education. The programme aims to educate art & design students so that their future artistic values, productions and activities will help to increase the citizens’ commitment toward climate change mitigation & sustainability.
The programme proposes to study the approach of art design as a communication medium and to complement that approach with the learning of “artivism” to engage audiences in the topics of the proposal with, among others, the use of interactive digital tools.
