LDTs are poorly communicated due to technical narratives and jargon. Current communication often lacks tangible examples and fails to address sustainability, citizen participation, and resilient living environments. They stick on technical expertise and ignore the common language needed for collaboration. To engage urban and regional planners effectively, fresh and relatable visual and textual representations are required to make LDTs more accessible and inclusive. Diverse forms of communication, including text, images, and moving visuals, tailored for various audiences are helping. By incorporating inclusive and culturally sensitive imagery, these methods can better address and illustrate complex topics like resilience. This approach aims to create a shared understanding. The MLU focuses on teaching various communication strategies, emphasizing the importance of selecting appropriate formats like images, infographics, and narratives to convey messages about LDTs. Activities aim to hone skills in developing visual languages and fostering teamwork by creating mood boards, association work, and collaborative sketches, thereby making abstract concepts comprehensible and fostering inclusive communication.
