Sixty adults from an Italian bio-district answered to a questionnaire; among them, nineteen and twenty-one people participated in a game-based experiential workshop and in a focus group, respectively. The experiential workshop involved games, image theater, and on-the-spot feedback. The body language recorded during the workshop captured information on the transparency of producers and on the oppression from public institutions as perceived by citizens. Experiential workshops may have advantages over focus groups in terms of diagnostic potential. AcknowledgmentsAuthors are thankful to Loredana Bertelli for her support in designing the questionnaire, to the coordinator of the bio-district Anna Cedrini for the hospitality at farmhouse Poggio Nebbia, to Parteciparte’s facilitators and to all participants.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 In this study, the term “food producers” refers to all citizens who earn their living at any stage of the food supply chain i.e. from growing, raising, processing, preparing, manufacturing, distributing or adding value to food products. All other citizens living or working in the area are considered “Food consumers.”2 All participants and facilitators signed a photo release form.3 This study was carried out in agreement with the Declaration of Helsinki (WMA, 2013) and national and international regulations. Personal information was anonymous. This study did not require the approval of an ethics committee since the sensitive personal data of participants could not be tracked.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the European Sensory Network (ESN), under Grant [2021 - 48235].Notes on contributorsCatherine LeclercqCatherine Leclercq, PhD degree in Nutrition, research director at the Center for Food and Nutrition, Council for Agricultural Research and Economics (CREA-AN) of Rome, Italy.

We developed a VR and EFT outreach program featuring scientists working on living shorelines for coastal restoration as a response to sea-level rise and examined the program’s impacts on youth through survey and arts-based methods. We found that: a) VR and EFTs proved to be effective for increasing participants’ connection to water, shoreline conservation, and STEM careers and b) arts-based methods can be used to examine participants’ sense of place but could be strengthened to emphasize human-environment connection.

To encourage more sustainable fishing practices, a creative educational strategy using a comic book was developed and evaluated in a marine protected area in Sabah. Questionnaire surveys and focus group discussions with 120 schoolchildren revealed that the comic book facilitated the improvement and retention of knowledge over time, knowledge sharing with family members, and growing intention to communicate the downsides of fish bombing to their community. This demonstrates the capability of comic books to convey sensitive environmental messages to coastal communities.
