Chapter 2. Decarbonising culture

This second educational chapter was designed, tested and evaluated from April 2023 to September 2023. 

6 modules have been created to explore the research carried out by the Think Tank Shift Project over the last 10 years, and more specifically its group dedicated to “culture” and its December 2021 publication “Décarbonons la Culture !”.The Shift Project’s work is addressed to the cultural sector as a whole. The Cake design work involves ‘translating’ this work so that its values can be assimilated by small organisations in a variety of European contexts.
The Shift has also ensured that its tools have a generic value so that they can be used by everyone.

6 teaching modules are proposed, based on the structure of knowledge acquisition/ expert meeting/ workshop:

Module 1.Understanding the Ecological Impact of Cultural Activities
Module 2. Environmental Impacts of Cultural Mobility
Module 3. Levers of decarbonization – case studies.
Module 4.The environnemental impact of digital
Module 5. Festival impact and circular economy
Module 6. Carbon footprint tools & road maps of decarbonization

And an event module, which offers an adaptation of the Climate Fresk (a method developed by associate partner Les Shifters) in a culture-specific application.

The process of creating these 6 modules will contribute to the overall objective of the project by providing partners with concrete tools that can be implemented in the consortium’s ideas for decarbonisation.
These will be methodological foundations that can be used to design new sustainable projects rather than seeking to adapt existing ones.
