Short summary
Set on a rapidly eroding UK coastline, this project explored how creative storytelling and intergenerational dialogue can support climate adaptation. Young people built knowledge, empathy and agency through community-based art methods, including a co-created film. These creative approaches empowered participants to voice local concerns and inspire action. The project developed a new climate praxis model, showing how storytelling can enhance resilience and drive place-based climate responses.
