'Upcycling for Everyone' project exhibition posters, funded by De Montfort University's QR funding for participatory research and AHRC-funded International Upcycling Research Network project. Exhibition launch at LCB Depot on 5th July 2024.
The document discusses strategies for applying design thinking and circular economy principles to challenges in the building industry. It highlights wicked problems, introduces concepts like design thinking and circular economy, and provides examples of organizations applying these approaches. Specific initiatives mentioned include efforts to recycle materials like fishing nets, cigarette butts, and construction debris. The role of standards, pre-design, and considering whole lifecycles are also discussed as important to transitioning to more sustainable and circular building practices.
The document describes an environmental education project called "EcoAttitude = Responsibility, Information, Action" carried out in Romania between 2010-2013. The project aimed to raise awareness of environment protection among children and encourage recycling. It involved workshops, discussions, and collecting recyclable waste from over 100,000 students across several regions. The project was implemented in four phases over the years, expanding its reach each time.
Plastic Mountain is a participatory public artwork to raise awareness of the plastic issue
In September 2021, West Norwood will come together to create a temporary sculpture made of earth with embedded litter and a related mural to raise awareness of the problems of plastic pollution.
The document describes an environmental education project called "Learning in the Outdoor Environment" carried out by the Észak-Mátra Environmental Protection Association in Hungary. The project aims to use real-world materials and hands-on outdoor activities to make environmental lessons more engaging for students. Students participate in games, excursions, environmental observations, experiments and other activities both on school grounds and in surrounding areas. The outdoor learning approach helps students develop knowledge, social skills, cooperation abilities, and stimulates self-directed investigation of their natural environment. Teachers observed students being more motivated and their competencies developing more easily compared to traditional classroom lessons.
Plastic Mountain - A Plastic Awareness Public Art ProjectPlasticMountain1
The document describes a public art project called "Plastic Mountain" that will involve local residents in South London constructing a large sculpture made of compacted earth and incorporating plastic litter collected from the area. Over time, the earth will erode away, leaving behind a ghostly plastic skeleton. The project aims to raise awareness about plastic waste and pollution issues and bring the community together. It will include litter collection, sculpture building, a mural, and engagement activities over several months.
This document summarizes the 2nd anniversary celebration of the Allia Future Business Centre in Cambridge, England. It discusses how the centre has supported over 300 ventures and created over 200 new jobs in its first two years. It also describes the "Points of Intersection" public art installation created to recognize the supporters and community that have contributed to the centre's success. The art installation includes pieces from several artists and incorporates thousands of photos submitted by centre users.
The document describes creative workshops held by Eco Logic to educate youth on sustainability. The workshops included both a theoretical introduction and hands-on activities. Students learned about reducing waste and recycling materials. They were then divided into groups and given discarded materials to create practical new objects, such as making a flower vase from a glass bottle and paper or a pencil holder from cardboard and plastic spoons. The goal was to teach creative ways to reuse materials typically thrown away, while also sparking students' interest through interactive learning.

This document discusses several projects related to global challenges, citizen science, and sustainability. It proposes a holistic approach to address the 15 global challenges identified by the Millennium Project. Specific projects mentioned include connecting citizens and science through citizen science networks in Europe and Switzerland, as well as a publication on strategic actions to address huge world challenges. The document advocates for structured dialog and deliberation across scales, sectors, and cultures to find solutions.
I was invited to have a critical discussion on the ethics and political issues of the fashion industry and discuss the WEAR Sustain project aims and activities.
The document is a project proposal that aims to advance the creativity and adaptability of basket weavers through workshops teaching innovative techniques using locally available materials. The primary objectives are to preserve cultural heritage, foster innovation among weavers, and create sustainable livelihoods for communities. Key activities include collaborating with experts to design workshops, conducting training, promoting local materials, and providing market access and monitoring of the project's success.
What can museums do as buildings, social spaces, and cultural institutions to embody sustainable practice - environmentally, socially and economically?
This webinar is designed to provide a holistic overview of sustainability within museums and includes examples from the sector and transferable actions for improvement.
The document summarizes best practices in environmental education from partners in the TrEE project in 8 European countries. It describes 3 best practices from each country, including mobile science labs and eco-committees in Bulgaria, lessons on energy from waste and sustainable energy in Denmark, a resource efficiency program for construction companies in the UK, outdoor environmental education in Hungary, the Ricrea recycling festival in Italy, a human generator and sustainable house exhibit in Portugal, and concludes with first calls for future activities in each country.

West Norwood will come together to create a temporary sculpture made of earth with embedded litter and a related mural to raise awareness of the problems of plastic pollution. This slide deck explains the project in more detail.
The document summarizes the activities carried out in the first year of the TrEE project, which aims to promote recycling and environmental education. It describes the partner organizations involved in Bulgaria and the initial steps taken, including signing agreements, selecting trainees, attending a project meeting in Italy, translating and promoting the first newsletter, presenting the project publicly, and conducting an initial training session on ecology in Burgas.
Activities around digging have again become very popular recently, including in the attention they have received from cultural institutions. Many cultural institutions have in recent years recreated wartime (allotment) gardens to highlight a range of different issues and values. Such exhibitions and events, organized during a time of renewed austerity measures, increased concerns around food and the environment, draw obvious parallels to the contemporary moment, offering possibilities to rethink our own values. This panel brings together exciting new research that focuses on this renewed interest in growing your own food.
The first half of the panel highlights work from the recently completed ‘Everyday Growing Cultures’ project, which focused on the potentially transformative value of connecting two currently disparate communities: allotments growers and the open data community. Based on comparative research in Manchester and Sheffield, it explores potential effects of digital engagement and open data for allotment holders to build stronger, more active communities, benefit local economies and improve environmental sustainability and food security. The second half of the panel seeks to understand the different ways in which issues around digging have reemerged in recent years, to understand these by looking at how they have been expressed and mobilized by different people and actors. This can be expressed as actual digging linked to food production, symbolic digging as performance, digging up local histories, or as new forms of gift-giving.

Castro Rae Welch_Social Capital and Greening Western Queens Poster FINAL 4_11_15Julie Welch
The Greening Western Queens project sought to understand how greening and tree planting affects social capital in urban communities. From 2011-2014, over 600 street trees were planted in Western Queens with community involvement. Interviews found that involvement increased bonding with green spaces, bridging between neighbors through new connections, and linking to government through participation in planning. Preliminary findings confirm the hypothesis that social capital in these communities was enhanced by this greening initiative.
Evgeny Shitikov is a 35-year-old coordinator of the non-governmental organization Green Ozersk in Ozersk, Russia. For the past 5 years, Green Ozersk has realized various environmental and social projects in Ozersk, such as planting greenery, organizing clothes and plastic bottle recycling programs, and holding children's sports festivals. Through these initiatives, over 10 million plastic bottles have been recycled and 158 tons of waste paper collected. Evgeny also participates in public discussions on sustainability issues and works to engage citizens and improve the urban environment of Ozersk.

Upcycling Art, Craft and Design Exhibition 2021Kyungeun Sung
This exhibition presents upcycled art, craft, and design pieces from the Upcycling Art, Craft and Design Competition 2021 organized by De Montfort University. The competition aimed to contribute to the UN's Sustainable Development Goal of responsible consumption and production. Entries included pieces made from reused or waste materials like cardboard, plastic containers, tin cans, vintage fabrics, records, and jeans. Gold was awarded to Tim Neath's miniature apartment model made from cardboard. Silver went to Katarzyna Bigaj and Nicole Lander, and bronze to Christina Wigmore, Issy Staniaszek, Jenny McIlhatton, and Millie Rees for their various upcycled crafts and designs
Recycling is important but cities often find it more expensive than sending waste to landfills. While landfills cause land pollution, recycling has environmental benefits. To encourage more recycling, people need education on its importance and how it helps communities through reducing pollution. Recycling programs are common but participation is often lackluster; motivating recycling requires messages highlighting both its positive impacts and the negatives of not recycling. Large corporations should be more regulated in their paper cup recycling claims and efforts to properly manage their environmental responsibilities.

This document describes a research and design project aimed at developing a more accessible solar energy technology for domestic use in the UK. The project was conducted by Alex Heaton, Kyungeun Sung, and Patrick Isherwood. Through consumer research, they identified key barriers to solar panel adoption and design priorities. They developed a concept called Edge Solar, which involves scaled-down solar arrays that can be installed at ground level to reduce costs. Testing showed the design is structurally feasible and could make solar technology more accessible, though a working prototype is still needed. The project contributes to making renewable energy adoption more widespread.

This is a prior version, please see: https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/ai-explanations-as-two-way-experiences-led-by-users-5e6d/269981688
In human communication, explanations serve to increase understanding, overcome communication barriers, and build trust. They are, in most cases, dialogues. In computer science, AI explanations (“XAI”) map how an AI system expresses underlying logic, algorithmic processing, and data sources that make up its outputs. One-way communication.
How do we craft designs that "explain" concepts and respond to users’ intent? Can AI identify, elicit and apply relevant user contexts, to help us understand AI outputs? How do explanations become two-way?
We must create experiences with systems that will be required to respect user needs and dynamically explain logic and seek understanding. This is a significant challenge that, at its heart, needs UX leadership. The safety, trust, and understandability of systems we design hinge on the way we craft models for explanation.

Upcycling for Everyone project exhibition posters
1. Upcycling
for Everyone
Upcycling is a material, cultural and business practice that transforms used or waste
products, components and materials into a new product or material of higher quality and/or
value than the compositional elements. Upcycling includes innovative forms of repair, reuse,
refurbishment, remake, remanufacture, recycling and more. It reduces solid waste,
improves resource efficiency, and reduces industrial energy consumption and associated
carbon emissions. It creates new job opportunities, saves money for individuals and
businesses, and contributes to people’s emotional wellbeing.
When it comes to upcycling at home, creating positive personal and collective beliefs is
paramount to encouraging people to engage in upcycling. Community events are known to
be an effective intervention for raising awareness and changing beliefs and practices. The
project aimed to further our knowledge of how to get everyone involved in upcycling at
household level in the UK, and to co-create and deliver art and design-based interventions
(community events) to promote upcycling behaviour.
We organised participatory, listening and co-creation workshops in four Midlands cities -
Birmingham, Derby, Leicester and Nottingham - in January 2024 in order to understand
opportunities and barriers to upcycling at home, as well as to identify and co-create
appropriate and effective art and design-based intervention community events. Based on
the results of the workshops, we planned for three hands-on upcycling events on three
Saturdays in April, May and June 2024 at Leicester Museum & Art Gallery. We contacted
suitable local upcycling practitioners to co-organise the events: (i) paper/cardboard
upcycling with Tim Neath in April; (ii) textile upcycling with Bonita Keay in May; and (iii)
upcycling plastic bottles with Sarah Turner in June.
This project was funded by De Montfort University’s (DMU) QR Funding for Participatory
Research and supported in part by the International Upcycling Research Network project,
funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council [grant number: AH/W007134/1]. We
had two main project partners: Leicester Museum & Art Gallery and LCB Depot. EVA
Organisation for Women and Green Meadows supported two listening and co-creation
workshops (Leicester and Nottingham). Dr Kyungeun Sung, Senior Lecturer in Product
Design at DMU led this project, and three DMU students, Yi Zhong, Nik Trzcinowicz, Raynel
Albin worked on this project.
