CITAR receives funding for an interdisciplinary project by Horizon Europe (FEDER and FCT) involving other research units (CEGE, CBQF, CIIS and CEDH).
Aligned with the Green Deal and challenging the problem of Climate Change, the project HAC4CG fits within the mission of Horizon Europe against Climate Changes including Social Transformations. The project is focused in the city of Porto as a local case study to a global problem.
The project HAC4CG- HAC4CG- Heritage, Art, Creation for Climate change. Living the city: catalyzing spaces for learning, creation and action towards climate change is structured in three main research lines around Art and Cultural Heritage as resources for fostering of an active pedagogy:
-
Line 1: Engaging Citizens through heritage conservation, in the Monitorization, solution development, observatory and citizen engagement for climate exposed heritage (WP1).
-
Line 2: Engaging citizens through art creation, the project aims in WP 1 - Identification, development and empowerment of a platform for the creation of new narrative routes of the city of Porto - to understand the ways in which citizens interact with the urban environment that surrounds them.
-
Line 3: The role of local governance, institutions and communities in mitigation and adaptation to climate change – comprises a WP to access the practices and the role of local governance, other institutions (e.g. health institutions) and communities in the implementation of climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies in the North of Portugal.
The project is headed by CITAR in partnership with CEGE, CBQF, CIIS and CEDH. The collaboration of the research units aims at proposing multidisciplinary approaches and the interdisciplinary cooperation in Universidade Católica Portuguesa, at Porto.
