Enquadramento
The conditions of cities that affect physical and mental health and the aspects of cities that make them more or less sustainable are closely intwined. From the effectiveness of public transport to access to green spaces, from the quality of air to the quality and safety of public space, many policies being implemented in cities can contribute both to sustainability objectives and improvements in public health. However, transitions and changes in cities and in lifestyles can be met with resistance and misunderstandings. Therefore the communication around these issues is crucial.
Objetivo
This project aims for the development and production of a short video or animation that helps to communicate goals for the improvement of cities in terms of sustainability and public health with the aim of showing how these issues are interrelated and can provide benefits both to individuals and communities. In collaboration with investigators from the Center for Neuroscience and Cell Biology (CNC) at the University of Coimbra, the student will develop a proposal for a short film or animation that can be produced and used to promotes sustainability and healthy lifestyles. The script will be developed with in a collaborative participative process in such a way to ensure that current scientific knowledge is expressed in a clear message.
