Seeds repository

Welcome in our InteractionSeeds repository. We aim at facilitating knowledge valorisation by testing, sharing and promoting good practices. This repository gathers examples of artistic and cultural interactions (the so called "Interaction Seeds") that have demonstrated positive effects to co-create solutions or communicate Science to citizens, and that are easily replicable.

About the repository

For this, artistic and cultural organizations have a unique set of skills. Arts-based methods creates conditions for knowing, experiencing and strengthening relationships with the world through signs, forms, actions and objects.
