Sustainable and Resilient Communities

We use creative technologies, culture/heritage-led research and storytelling to enable broader and more diverse audiences to understand and engage with complex concepts related to environment and vulnerability, climate change and sustainability, human wellbeing and resilience.

Digital and sustainable innovation and creativity are invaluable tools for exploring the way people interpret the world and their place within it. These tools can ensure agency and empowerment, making communities and their places more resilient and sustainable, as well as contribute to safeguarding culture and heritage, and critical services and infrastructure from natural and man-made hazards.
