Bridging worlds. Empowering change.
Helping organisations and communities
understand complexity,
build shared meaning,
and move from insight to collective action.
What we do
All work at naau is grounded at the intersection of
systems thinking,
participatory design,
and learning methodologies that support collective engagement.
Each process is adapted to context, scale, and stakeholder constellation—from local initiatives to European programmes.
Participation & Process Design
What we offer: Multi-stakeholder processes enabling collaboration across sectors, disciplines, and governance levels.
Our focus: Bridging perspectives and enabling shared ownership of solutions answering to complex challenges for long-term transformation processes rooted in lived participation.
E.g.: Citizen participation processes, Municipal and regional engagement strategies, Co-creation across borders through Erasmus+ cooperations.
Learning Experiences & Workshops
What we offer: Facilitated formats that build understanding, engagement, and collective intelligence around futures thinking and sustainability challenges, such as climate change, the ocean, and narratives.
Our focus: These formats are used in schools, organisations, regional programmes, and community settings to support learning, dialogue, and activation.
E.g.: Climate Fresk, Ocean Collage, New Narratives Collage, Futures Literacy Labs & scenario workshops, Climate and sustainability hackathons (including Doughnut Economy).
Communication & Engagement Design
What we offer: Strategic communication and visuals that make complex topics accessible, meaningful, and actionable.
Our focus: Communication is designed as an active part of participation—not only dissemination.
E.g.: Visual identities for sustainability and innovation projects, Campaigns and communication strategies, Educational and facilitation materials, Toolkits for participation and engagement, Exhibition and storytelling formats.
Curated selection of available Workshops and Hackathons:
New Narratives Collage (La Fresque des Nouveaux Récits)
An interactive workshop that explores the stories shaping our societies and imagines alternative futures beyond extractive and unsustainable models. Participants develop empowering narratives that support ecological and social transformation.
Ocean Collage (La Fresque Océane)
A participatory workshop that deepens understanding of the ocean’s role in regulating climate, supporting biodiversity, and sustaining life on Earth. Participants discover key challenges facing marine ecosystems and explore pathways for ocean stewardship.
Futures Literacy & Scenario Workshops
Drawing on futures thinking methodologies, these workshops help groups explore possible futures, challenge assumptions, and build the capacity to navigate uncertainty. Formats can include Futures Literacy Labs, visioning exercises, and scenario exploration.
Co-Creation & Multi-Stakeholder Processes (Hackathons)
Designed for municipalities, organisations, and networks seeking collective solutions to complex challenges. These facilitated processes bring together diverse perspectives to build shared understanding, generate ideas, and create actionable outcomes. We are building on experiences made throughout the years with over 10 Climathons organised throughout municipalities and schools.
