Накратко на български

Методите за съвместно проектиране изследват как различни групи хора и природни обекти, като реки или екосистеми, могат да си сътрудничат при енергийни преходи или земеделие. Това помага за преодоляване на социалните разделения и създаване на по-включвателни отговори пред климатичните промени.

Reworlding: Repositioning Participatory Design to Tackle Socio-Environmental Challenges

The REWORLDING Doctoral Network addresses the growing societal need for inclusive and participatory responses to socio-ecological challenges such as climate change and biodiversity loss. These issues are experienced differently by communities, organisations, and individuals, often leading to societal polarisation that slows down collective action. REWORLDING develops and advances Participatory Design (PD) methodologies that enable dialogue and collaboration across societal groups and between human and more-than-human actors (e.g. plants, rivers, ecosystems). By amplifying underrepresented voices and creating participatory spaces for engagement, the project seeks to bridge fragmented perspectives and support more inclusive socio-environmental transformations. The project is structured around four interconnected pillars: Retracing, Reconnecting, Reimagining, and Reinstitutioning. Through these pathways, REWORLDING identifies existing practices of socio-environmental care, develops knowledge for interdisciplinary collaboration, links participatory design approaches to real-world contexts (e.g. energy transitions, farming, social housing), and explores ways to embed research outcomes in long-term institutional practices. Situated within the broader context of the European Green Deal, Horizon Europe missions, and Open Science principles, REWORLDING contributes to the development of socially robust, democratic, and ethically grounded responses to ecological challenges. Social sciences and humanities perspectives are central to the project, enabling critical reflection on values, power relations, and cultural interpretations shaping environmental issues. Overall, REWORLDING aims to develop participatory tools, methods, and training that support collaboration across societal divides and contribute to more resilient and inclusive socio-ecological transitions.

Цел на проекта

Socio-environmental issues are experienced differently by different actors, communities and organisations, leading to societal polarisation and inhibiting urgently needed actions around these issues. As Participatory Design (PD) researchers, we observe a need for design approaches that can bring diverse actors together to tackle these challenges in participatory ways, with particular care for those who remain silent, both as human and non-human actors (e.g. plants, rivers or insects). REWORLDING doctoral network aims to investigate and outline such a careful and situated PD approach that can better understand and create synergies between the different worlds in which people live and work, and the non-human worlds they are entangled with. This is achieved through an interdisciplinary methodology based on collective learning and participatory action research, embedded in inter-sectoral collaborations with non-academic partners who address socio-environmental issues from diverse perspectives. In doing so, the network identifies and articulates reworlding design capabilities that can support next-generation researchers in tackling the connections of social and environmental challenges. Design capabilities link research and training in REWORLDING. The research program explores the capabilities needed to address socio-environmental issues and their translation to specific skills and training needs. Based on research insights, the training program iterates the proposed courses and enhances identified capabilities by exposing the 10 recruited researchers to non-academic socio-environmental practices. The program includes Retracing lecture series, Reconnecting methods training, Reimagining summer schools, Reinstitutioning webinars and Reworlding assemblies. Through articulated pathways to impact, we connect the project activities with stakeholders on different scales and relevant programs at European and international levels (such as SDGs and European Green Deal).
