Sharing non-human appreciation

We, humans, are dependent on non-humans for our survival. Yet, our actions harm them, resulting in unsustainable life on earth. I want to intrinsically motivate people to behave more environmentally aware, by raising their appreciation for non-humans.

The volunteers at Stadsakkers Eindhoven already demonstrate this non-human appreciation in their work. I explored how non-humans are appreciated, how we can design for sharing non-human appreciation and with whom to share.

In this project, I developed my insight in good collaborations, learned a lot about the ecosystem, and understood the value of tangible and visual attributes during communication and storytelling.
