Art-based Methods<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Approaches that use creative and aesthetic practices (e.g., visual arts, storytelling, and performance) to inform, inspire, and engage people in research processes. These methods foster deeper emotional connections and value-based understanding but also stimulate imagination and the generation of innovative ideas. The kind of conversation and data that Art-based Methods bring forth tend to be different to those offered by «traditional» social science methods. Using alternative, creative methods is a good way of broadening the accessibility of research and interest of wider groups, as not everyone understands or wants to participate in classic research settings. Creative methods can facilitate transformative learning and action, enabling participants to explore complex environmental and social challenges through art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
