PROJECT
OVERVIEW
Artitude: Climate, Culture, and Circularity is a place-based collaborative movement in the Derry City and Strabane District, enabling community-led transformation in how we relate to nature, waste, the circular economy, and climate action.
OUR VISION
We recognise our shared humanity as part of nature and the need to live as healthier, happier, and more sustainable people and communities.
Through storytelling and creativity, we reconnect with our deeper sense of belonging and the natural world, inspiring long-term behavioural and attitudinal change that transforms our relationship with both nature and each other.
We work collaboratively across diverse communities, united through common purpose and creativity.
OUR STORY
Using creative practice to empower communities and individuals to enact change, Artitude will deliver:
Artitude Residencies: Long-term, community-led creative projects across the Derry City and Strabane District Council (DCSDC) area.
Festival Programming: Year-long programme of arts events and festivals highlighting artists making work in response to the climate crisis and inspired by themes of nature, biodiversity, circularity and climate justice.
Learning and Dissemination: Developing toolkits, case studies, podcasts, films and other learning resources to inspire groups and organisations around the world to use the arts to understand and grow a movement for positive change on climate issues.
Research and Evaluation: Listening and learning from people in communities to shape meaningful change.
The Difference We Make
Artitude is building a growing movement across the city region where sustainable practices become part of everyday life.
The arts are at the heart of designing and realising a society motivated by
wellbeing, inclusion, and respect for all living things.
New narratives are inspiring change in awareness, discourse, attitudes, beliefs, values, behaviours, and actions across media, public culture, and within individuals and organisations.
Innovative ways of working, rooted in fairness, respect, and diversity, are encouraging collaboration and leading to whole systems change.
Our partners and collaborators are continually developing their carbon literacy and circular economy knowledge, taking tangible actions that contribute to the region’s Net Zero targets.
