Team — CLIMART-D

CLIMART-D brings together a multidisciplinary team of professionals, researchers and experts from partner organisations across Europe, united by a shared commitment to exploring the relationship between art, democracy and climate action and addressing the project’s central question: ‘Why do we need democracy in climate action?’

The team combines complementary expertise in project coordination, socio-cultural and youth work, local democracy and civic participation, climate action and sustainability, Deep Democracy and inclusive facilitation, participatory and digital arts, research and community engagement.

Together, the team supports the artists throughout the project’s research, co-creation, capacity-building, mentoring and artwork production processes, while fostering inclusive collaboration, cross-border exchange and public dialogue. Their combined expertise helps connect artistic practice, democratic participation and climate action throughout the project.

Through collaboration among partners with complementary expertise, the team works on developing, implementing, and disseminating the project’s results, promoting knowledge sharing, innovation, and impact among communities, organizations, and other stakeholders.
