The Big Green
Within the Big Green -project we support the development of a facilitative policy environment to better exploit the potentials of the creative industry in promoting sustainability.
Promoting sustainability & arts!
Overview of the project
In The Big Green -project, we are bringing environmentally-engaged artists under one large-scale umbrella initiative and experiment with innovative ways of using art to promote sustainability. We are sharing best practices and providing guidelines on how artists and scientists can best work together. We aim to build a facilitative policy environment to better exploit the potentials of the creative industry in promoting sustainability.
People in art, design, and culture are eager to do their bit for a better future, and institutions and governments increasingly expect them to.
Xamk’s role in the project is to support policy and framework building by sharing best practices and participating in project measures and discussions. The project has started with forming common goals and practices for the international consortium.
