Stories for a new world

“Fabulae pro nove orbe” (Stories for a New World) is a 7 days training course (+2 days travel) for youth workers, trainers and educators over 18 years old and with a good command of the English language.

The training course combines storytelling, media work and environmental education, to inspire and equip participants with competences for being more effective change-makers.

The General aim is to explore the challenges that communities are facing in recent times in terms of the global environmental crisis, and the ways in which media – in particular, social media – contribute to the creation of empty values, competitiveness, stereotypes, prejudice, intolerance and violent movements, in order to learn how to revert this trend.

We will learn to be critical users of media content, to be effective producers of information – not only passive users, to create counter-narratives to the “doom and gloom” stories about the destruction of our planet, and to contribute to the creation of a more diverse media that can be a catalyst of positive change.
