Co-vision
A large scale project to map the Europe's natural heritage in a digital archive.
Co-vision fosters contemporary storytelling about the endangered local natural heritage. Art installations, debates and digital content will highlight the impact of climate change on European fauna and flora, promoting discussions and showcasing original content.
Follow our journey
CO-VISION – Mapping the Natural Heritage is a 3-years large-scale cooperation project which intends to co-create and co-produce a reproducible model for tackling environmental challenges and an EU Artistic Digital Archive with the objective of stimulating a deep awareness of the climate crisis, fostering sustainable behaviors and fair methodologies for the cultural creation in large-scale events, and preserving the memory of part of the natural heritage at risk.
Greening Guidelines
At Co-vision project, Xamk focuses on sustainability issues and creates Greening Guidelines to events and festivals. Our development approach is design-based, including for example co-creation activities, interviews, benchmarking best practises, observing festivals and prototyping. Planetary well-being and UN global sustainability goals provide principles and framework for our actions.

UNDERSTAND 2024
Collecting insight from events and festivals, having dialogues and workshops with our Artistic partners to understand the operational environment.
Desk Research & Benchmarking of existing tools.
IDEATE 2024
Making first, early-stage draft of Greening Guidelines based on findings from the understand phase, including expertise from sustainability and regenerative thinking.
PROTOTYPE 2025
Creating a prototype of Greening Guidelines and taking it into action to be tested.
Collecting feedback for the next iteration.
ITERATE 2025
Developing Greening Guidelines further, based on the feedback from prototype phase.
Greening Guidelines will be finalized in 2026
We aim to create easy-to-use and desirable guidelines to be adopted by events and festivals on their journey of becoming more sustainable.
Project partners
The project is promoted by a consortium of 12 professional cultural players in 11 countries spreading in all Europe and will involve citizens, international artists (with a specific engagement of the Ukrainian community), local stakeholders through a cultural participatory strategy and thanks to bottom-up mechanisms and an empirical methodology for the storytelling of the natural heritage.
