GREEN ETHICS develops cultural initiatives for civic engagement to raise awareness about climate change.

The project

GREEN ETHICS – Green Experience through Theatre Inspiring Communities is a Social and Community Theatre project that won the 2021 Creative Europe Large Scale call. Led by the University of Turin (Department of Humanities) and SCT Centre, the project involves 18 co-organizing partners and 64 associated partners in 12 European countries, including theatre companies, universities and research centers, large cultural hubs, social entities, and public institutions.

Green Ethics uses theater, the arts and cultural activities as a tool to promote civic engagement, raise awareness about climate change, and encourage European citizens to think critically and take action in support of the European Green Deal.

The project aims to:

  • CULTURAL SECTOR GREEN SHIFT: Making sustainability a core issue for professionals by providing technical infrastructure, protocols, and skills.
  • PUBLIC CULTURAL GREEN ENGAGEMENT: Empowering European citizens to participate in artistic processes, fostering critical thinking, and providing accessible scientific information on climate change.

Action

The centerpiece of the project is the Green Ethics Live Game: an interactive theatrical performance that addresses environmental issues in an engaging and thought-provoking way. Premiered in 12 European cities, the show is set to reach over 100 cities across Europe in 2025.

The Italian premiere of Cabaret Artico (Artic Cabaret) introduces a new format that makes the audience active participants in civic engagement. Green Ethics is pioneering new forms of participation, including Pedal-Powered Theatre, where the audience generates the energy for the show by the kinetic force produced while cycling.

The project will realize 110 LIVE Game performances, 1200 BOARD Game activities with groups (schools, communities, families, etc.), 10 capacity building workshops and 50 artistic workshops for communities, 8 capacity building workshops for cultural professionals, an exchange program for 12 young visual artists, 12 conferences, 1 scientific publication and 1 photobook, involving 100 professionals and over 45,000 citizens (mainly from disadvantaged groups).

The project’s sustainability is based on the establishment of a European Artistic Network for Sustainable Events. Green Ethics doesn’t just talk about sustainability, it leads by example, starting from cultural organizations. Through the Green Protocol, a set of concrete guidelines, the project encourages the reduction of the environmental impact of events and activities. From the choice of recycled materials to energy efficiency, the Green Protocol inspires tangible and measurable change.

The project targets a diverse audience in terms of age, background, economic and cultural capital, with a particular focus on vulnerable groups. These groups are the primary recipients of Green Ethics‘ message, as they may be less aware of climate change due to difficulties in interpreting data and information correctly. Functional illiteracy, or the inability to adequately understand and evaluate written texts, affects 27.7% of the Italian population (OECD-PIAAC 2019) and hinders the development of full ecological consciousness. In this context, by communicating complex scientific content in a simple and impactful language, Green Ethics facilitates the approach of less educated people to the issue of climate change and involves them in collective processes of ecological transition.
