Sustainable Thinking and Expression on Public Space (STEPS)

The Sustainable Thinking and Expression on Public Space (STEPS) Initiative is a collaborative effort that aims to promote sustainable and community-centred public spaces by engaging inspiring and creative organizations, informal collectives and individuals committed to using art as a medium for dialogue on liberating the urban commons.

Through a participatory consultation process, STEPS is connecting public space enthusiasts to facilitate effective collaboration and the development of accessible, arts-based, knowledge exchange tools that promote citizen empowerment and community capacity building.

Environmental arts activists are being interviewed and are invited to contribute to the development of a series of best practices for public space activism as well as a public engagement strategy to facilitate the dissemination of a number of youth-driven resources and educational tools. The STEPS participatory consultation will inform the role, framework and next steps of an international network of environmental arts activists.
