🚩PALIMPSEST EU Project had the great pleasure of attending the 11th edition of European Urban Resilience Forum (EURESFO)! 💡On the 27th of June, Chema Segovia from CULTURALINK participated in the case study session entitled “Does Culture Count for Resilience? Opportunities and Challenges for More Resilient Cultural Landscapes” where he presented the conceptual and methodological framework of #PALIMPSEST, followed by the sharing of insights with other fellow research projects funded by #HorizonEurope RescueME and THETIDA. ✔EURESFO has served as a pivotal European initiative since 2013 and it has been acting as a unique exchange platform in the field of resilience. The 2024 edition of EURESFO was built around three key thematic streams and a fourth special thematic stream, each addressing crucial aspects of resilience, sustainable development and recovery. 👉Learn more in our latest article https://lnkd.in/dp5JxuGk #EURESFO24 #urbanresilience #sustainability #EUGreenCapital

🌟 Reconnecting Milan with the river Lambro: PALIMPSEST residential workshop #1! 💡From 17 to 24 June, Milan hosted the first PALIMPSEST residential workshop, kicking off an ambitious project to reconnect the city with its rich water heritage. Known for its architectural wonders and cultural history, Milan's landscape was once dominated by the River Lambro and a network of canals, including the intricate system designed by Leonardo da Vinci. Over time, urban expansion has obscured these waterways, leading to environmental degradation and a loss of historical identity. 🚩#PALIMPSEST is dedicated to the revival of this landscape. The Acqua Lambro project, led by artists gethan&myles, aims to restore the vitality of the Lambro River through community engagement and innovative approaches to the creative action. 📅 Workshop Highlights: Day 1️⃣: Warm welcome at Cascina Biblioteca and introduction to the artists’ project "Acqua Lambro". Day 2️⃣: Exploration of Parco Lambro, discussions with hydrobiologist Giulo Conte and agronomist Antonio Corbari. Day 3️⃣: Biking tour of renatured areas along the Lambro, emphasising ecological restoration. Friday & Saturday: Creative prototyping, debris collection in the river, and a visit to Leonardo da Vinci's "Last Supper." Day 6️⃣: Cyanotype workshop on the Lambro's banks, blending creativity with research. Final Day 7️⃣: UN conference at Politecnico di Milano and an audio interview with the artists. The PALIMPSEST project is not just an environmental initiative but a call to reimagine urban spaces and reconnect with our natural resources.  Stay tuned for more updates and insights on the #PALIMPSEST project. 🌍💧 🔗 Learn all about the Residential Workshop at https://lnkd.in/dMWAWSGK #Milan #LandscapeSustainability #EnvironmentalTransformation #CreativeInnovation #UrbanResearch #NewEuropeanBauhaus #HorizonEurope #NEBproject #EU CALL - Cities in Action for Learning LAB ERSAF Lombardia BC3 - Basque Centre for Climate Change Nomad Garden Novelcore Łódź Design Festival Karakorum Srl Impresa Sociale CULTURALINK COAL CULTURALINK Service Design Lab, Aalborg University, I-SENSEGroup/ICCS, Novelcore Grazia Concilio Irene Bianchi Talita Medina Francesca Berni Francesca Squadrelli

"Historic cities need to be alive. A mindset of 'do not touch anything' makes the historical city centres into a thematic park. Cities have changed throughout history, & we need to keep changing. But the management of the change is important." -Aitziber Egusquiza Ortega (TECNALIA Research & Innovation) We had a very successful joint session on the intersection of cultural landscapes and #resilience at #EURESFO24! Moderated by Cristina Garzillo-Leemhuis PhD, MBA with partners Tina Katika from THETIDA and Chema Segovia from PALIMPSEST EU Project at EURESFO, we explored diverse case studies like Valencia (represented by our partner Lola Vicente-Almazán Castro) and the latest tools from across the projects.

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of giving a lecture on “Cultural Actions as Urban Sustainability Drivers” as part of the course "Culture-driven Approach for Sustainability: Global Practices in the Cultural and Creative Industries” offered by Shanghai Jiao Tong University's SDG July Camp. The course explores the transformative role of Cultural and Creative Industries (#CCIs) in promoting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (#SDGs). What makes a city “sustainable”? How do cities change, and what role can cultural actions of varying degrees of formalization play in these transformation processes? The lecture, aimed at students from diverse disciplinary and cultural backgrounds, focused on the relationship between cultural actions and urban transformation processes. After introducing key principles of urban sustainability, adaptive governance, social innovation and socio-technical transition theory, we explored various European case studies, inviting students to reflect from a transdisciplinary perspective. This lecture was also a great opportunity to present some findings from the MESOC project—Measuring the Social Impacts of Culture—and to introduce ongoing reflections within the #NewEuropeanBauhaus PALIMPSEST EU Project. A big thank you to the students who actively participated in the discussion! The course offers additional interesting perspectives on the topic, featuring contributions from colleagues at the Econcult - Universitat de Valencia, Climate Service Center Germany (GERICS), and Chloe Sustainability . Many thanks to my colleagues at SJTU and the University of Valencia for the invitation - Pau Rausell Köster, Chuan LI, —and to the teaching assistants for their invaluable support.

𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐨 𝐑𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩 Inaugural events often come with smiles, promises ✨, and light content, serving as a warm-up for the main activities to come. However, the first "Rooting Spritz" of the Palimpsest Project's residential workshop in #Milan was able to dive into substantial and challenging discussions right from the start. This series of evening “#RootingSpritz” aims to conclude each day of the upcoming week with meaningful and informal dialogues, confronting ideas and listening to invited experts' perspectives.  The first event shed light on the ambivalent relationship that Milan has with the #Lambro River: Why does Milan overlook its river? Public and journalistic narratives often spotlight the Lambro during crises, whether due to its unpleasant smell, urban decay, waste issues, or flooding. Given the workshop's location near Cascina Biblioteca Cooperativa, an area prone to such floods☔, the topic resonated deeply with the audience. This question emerged naturally after the artist duo Gethan&Myles, who joined the team after winning the Creative Dialogue Open call, introduced their initiative "Acqua Lambro". Their artistic provocation aims to make the Lambro's water drinkable, viewing the impossible as plausible. Among participants who joined the discussion, we had Dario Kian (ERSAF Lombardia-Contratti di Fiume), Gianni Dapri (Associazione Grande Parco Forlanini), Lorenzo Baio (Legambiente Lombardia Aps/Onlus), Andrea Turolla (Politecnico di Milano), Alessia Bernardini, Thomas Giglio (Cascina Biblioteca) and all the other partners involved! The PALIMPSEST EU Project residential workshop continues, inviting ongoing participation through its website, ERSAF's platform, and associated social media channels. The CALL Lab team - Grazia Concilio, Irene Bianchi, Francesca Berni, Talita Medina, participates as PALIMPSEST coordination team. Join us at the Rooting Spritz events and stay engaged with the transformative journey of the Lambro River. Read more on our website > https://lnkd.in/dc3KgMEd
