Climate Truth Crisis: Public Symposiu
Empowering Young Designers for Future Democracies
+ Bæta við
The Iceland University of the Arts welcomes you to a public symposium featuring expert speakers from the fields of design, media, policy and science communication at Stakkahlíð 1, Skriða lecture hall.
Climate Truth Crisis is an Erasmus+ Cooperation Partnership project that brings together students and staff from seven art and design academies in the respective cities of The Hague, Reykjavík, Barcelona, London, Vilnius, Tallinn and Sarajevo.
The project investigates the implications of climate change scepticism on democracy and public trust and aims to develop practices that empower young designers to evaluate climate-related news and visualise the spread of disinformation.
