Together we will tackle water related issues from multiple angles and raise awareness. Using multiple tools and methods, such as ClimateScan, storytelling, art and design thinking!
Workshop Packages Part of this Climatecafé:
– Climate scan and Catchment area field trip – Online mapping, knowledge, and understanding of how environments in the catchment area are affected and affect climate change.
– Online Riverwalk – Understanding of the watercourse’s function, history and how it is part of a wider context, as well as gaining inspiration by experiencing the environment and sharing stories. To jointly explore and explore a watercourse on foot. Each participant shares their knowledge and impressions in a common description. Perspectives included: species, habitats, river structures, surroundings, local history, use of the water resource etc.
– Raintool – Adaptation Support Tool (AST) supports the collaborative planning of adaptation measures in urban areas for flooding, drought and heat stress.
– Storytelling – Using mind-map methodology you will get an understanding of the stakeholders perception on the issue. Stakeholders perceive their social ecological system (SES) in different ways. By using the mind-map methodology, stakeholder perceptions can be elicited and visualised. Participants will elicit stakeholder perceptions with mind maps and create a narrative with stakeholders. After elicitation, participants discuss and compare the different perceptions of stakeholders to understand similarities or differences.
– Design thinking – Workshop on ideating and prototyping concepts to raise awareness on the local issue. Design is a powerful tool to help people imagine new ways of living in a world facing the effects of climate change. Creativity can help mobilize people and raise awareness on the issue of climate adaptation. With this tool we aim to brainstorm and prototype some creative solutions to the challenge of the city. The workshop has the aim to work from the data collected on the field trip towards a concept/prototype for a tangible product that can be later implemented by the stakeholders/problem owners.
– Participatory Art – Co-creating artwork together with the local community to open up conversation on the local climate change challenges

ClimateCafe IMPETUS
2021-04-12 - 2021-04-16
In European cities the threats of climate change become crucial for city development and human safety. Even though, cities are becoming more and more experienced with new approach to local adaptation planning, there are still clear barriers such as: 1) limited availability of up-to-date data about local conditions, 2) lack of awareness and civic attitude of ignorance towards climate change and its impact on well-being and local conditions in our streets and neighborhoods, lack of public interest, and finally 3) lack of interdisciplinary approaches and public actions to solve local problems and the inability to select the optimal solutions from the set of alternative actions.
