Two Sessions: 10.00 – 11.30 am & 2.00 – 3.30 pm

A number of projects funded under the Landscape Decisions Programme explore how creative approaches can influence landscape decision making.
The event is organised by AALERT 4DM with the Landscape Decisions Coordination Team and it will be delivered in two sessions.
- The morning session will explore and debate perspectives of different projects about engaging with creative practices and understanding landscape decision making in the context of specific projects.
- The afternoon session in an open conversation will debate how creative approaches can influence landscape decision making.
The event is open to wider audiences and all speakers and hosts will be participating in both sessions.
