The Finnish team of SOLARIS worked together with the community artist Matthew Mazzotta to leverage new ways for community and stakeholder engagement (Deliverable D4.3).

These artistic actions allow to play on the emotion of the participants in order to make them better understand the issues at stake.

Matthew Mazzotta’s engaging art project provided a novel avenue for:

a) reaching out to local communities through his unique design charette strategies

b) securing otherwise difficult to obtain tacit knowledge on local issues and understanding in relation to climate-related flood risk adaptation and awareness.
