Global challenges such as climate change, disaster related to natural phenomena, and pollution require communicative approaches capable of overcoming linguistic, cultural, and emotional barriers. This session explores how interdisciplinary integration between science, play, and art can transform the complexity of geo-risks into accessible and engaging messages, contributing to community resilience. Special attention will be given to the role of cultural heritage, both tangible and intangible, not only as an element to be protected but also as a catalyst for identity, collective memory, and emotional strength in facing crises. Through the use of creative and scientific tools, innovative models will be presented that enhance dialogue between experts, local communities, and policymakers. Case studies and transdisciplinary practices will highlight communication pathways capable of raising public awareness, stimulating social dialogue, and supporting sustainable land management. The session invites scientists, artists, educators, and stakeholders to reflect on how collaboration across different disciplines can expand the impact of geo-risk communication, highlighting cultural and natural heritage as pillars of sustainable and shared resilience.
