Critical ChangeLab // Beta Festival

What will it be like to live in Dublin in 2050?

The Critical ChangeLab at Trinity College Dublin is launching an after-school prtogramme in collaboration with Beta Festival. In the programme young people will use creative tools (including augmented and virtual reality) to imagine what the future could look like.

Across the six-week program, participants will collectively identify and engage with local and global challenges affecting where they live in the Liberties in Dublin. Participants will use a variety of creative and digital tools and methods including augmented and virtual reality to envision sustainable futures, with outputs exhibited in a digital installation at the inaugural BETA festival on 2nd – 5th November 2023.
