A:Practice
Action Matrix – Turning Cultural Institutions into Ecological Players
A:Practice enables a global perspective on the planet’s ecological situation and defines four fields of action that can help to restore balance.
The tool was developed in collaboration with The Forgotten Angle Theatre Collaborative (FATC), South Africa, and KlimaKontor Basel, Switzerland.
What does this tool comprise?
A:Practice is centred around its “matrix of action”. This matrix provides guidance; it facilitates immediate action and the simultaneous implementation of various sustainability concepts. It is compatible with other approaches to organisational development.
Why is this tool important?
We see that ecological crises continue to escalate while social upheaval is on the rise. At the same time, we see the great potential of cultural institutions to contribute to a society that thinks and acts ecologically. We meet people in charge of institutions who feel the need to move from knowledge to action.
