On the 27th and 28th of September 2024, 30.000 visitors descended upon Valletta, Malta’s capital city, to attend to the national science and arts Science in the City Festival (SitC).
While celebrating the creativity and innovation of artists and scientists, the annual event provides a unique platform for the community, scientists, researchers, artists and performers to engage with one another and advocate for positive change through active citizenship and critical thinking.
The theme of this year’s festival was Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, aligning closely with JUSTNature's value of ecological justice. During the event, our partners of University of Malta disseminated the JUSTNature project with an activity based on “lego art”, an interactive game which encourages citizens to use their imagination to come up with their own Nature-based Solutions for a hypothetical future city. Through the activity, the groups learned about the co-creative process adopted by JUSTNature and the key values of the project.
