Modern cities face complex challenges that require creative solutions tailored to local conditions. The Perebel Method is currently practiced and tested in organisations in Poland, supported both by the Science for Society programme and through individual agreements with institutions.
Interdisciplinary teams applying this method have addressed challenges such as:
- senior activation as a preventive measure against neurodegenerative diseases for the City of Lodz,
- the user experience of VR/XR solutions for Smart Cities in cooperation with company Orange Poland,
- strengthening of safety and the sense of safety at mass events (in progress),
- effective implementation of blue-green infrastructure through planned participatory processes. Its main goal is to improve the quality of life of residents and protect the environment.
The presentation will discuss the following issues:
- theoretical foundations, focusing on the performative research dimension of artistic practice,
- the organisational principles behind structuring and facilitating interdisciplinary teams,
- selected case studies illustrating how the Perebel Method responds to the challenges of urban transformation, engages citizens, and strengthens civic competences.
