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

InteractionSeeds motivations are to humanize technology, take science out of the lab, encourage critical thinking, challenge technology, and explore new path to progress.
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.
 
Applied to research, the goal is to imagine solutions for a better and more sustainable, inclusive and beautiful future.
