Climate Truth Crisis is an Erasmus-funded research and education programme bringing together students and staff from seven art and design academies across The Hague, Reykjavik, Barcelona, London, Vilnius, Tallinn, and Sarajevo. The programme investigates climate misinformation and its impact on democracy and public trust, asking how design and visual communication can help people distinguish news from fake news in the service of sustainable change.

I was selected by Dr. Peter Hall at UAL through a competitive process to participate in two of the three learning activities. In Sarajevo at the Academy of Fine Arts, I worked in a cross-institutional student group to develop a media campaign responding to climate misinformation in a local Bosnian context. Using the FLICC framework for analysing science denial, the group developed Do, Nothing, a counter-campaign challenging the assumption that developing countries must exploit natural resources to grow. Through disruptive street poster interventions, the campaign reframed everyday Bosnian practices as already existing forms of sustainable development, positioning slowness and non-extraction as acts of resistance to externally driven growth models. The campaign was documented in a short film produced by the group.

In Barcelona at Elisava, I engaged across workshops, field walks, and lectures, drawing on her work in participatory design and urban research. Following the programme, I co-presented a learning reflection to a panel of UAL faculty, proposing how Climate Truth Crisis methods might be applied to design education more broadly.

I am a named contributor to the forthcoming CTC publication, provisionally titled Climate Truth Crisis: A Tactical Glossary for Creative Practitioners, scheduled with Set Margins Press for 2027.
