Awfully wonderful! – Making sustainable actions visible by means of environmental art

The project “Awfully wonderful! – Making sustainable actions visible by means of environmental art” of the Lappeenranta urban planning division, in collaboration with various other actors, makes the city's versatile work for sustainable development visible through environmental and urban art implemented in the city environment.

The project offers residents an opportunity to participate in making, brainstorming and commenting on works of art, and to reflect on their own relationship with the environment. At the same time, the residents will be challenged to bring up new development targets the city could join and thus boost the actions it takes for the environment.  Another aim is to create novel operating models between the City of Lappeenranta and its various sectors, as well as between third-sector actors and actors providing basic education in visual arts and vocational arts education in the city.
