Sustainable Storytelling , visual narratives for change
Are you curious about how science and creativity can meet to tell powerful stories about our shared future? Explore how storytelling can shape understanding, empathy, and action!
Whats the project about
The Sustainable Storytelling project invites students to collaborate across disciplines to transform sustainability-related research into creative and pedagogical video productions. The project explores how complex scientific findings can be made understandable and engaging for broader audiences using multimodal and visual storytelling techniques. Students will work in small, international teams, combining knowledge from science, social studies, media, and the arts. The project promotes interdisciplinary collaboration and science communication as essential skills for shaping a sustainable future.
Study areas
- An interest in communicating sustainability and scientific topics to the public.
- Curiosity for interdisciplinary teamwork and creative collaboration.
- Basic digital literacy and willingness to learn visual storytelling and media production.
Dream team» group should combine:
1. Scientific insight – students who understand environmental or technological issues.
2. Social awareness – students who can analyse societal and communicative contexts.
3. Creative expression – students skilled or interested in storytelling, media, or design.
Together, these perspectives form the foundation for producing visual narratives for change.
