Narratives & Storytelling

NENA Narratives Hub

About the Hub

The objectives of NENA’s narratives hub are to:

  • Provide a space for NENA members to explore the role of stories and narratives in the transformation towards a new economy and a flourishing sustainable future
  • Share knowledge about how to effectively work with storytelling and narrative change at multiple scales
  • Explore ways to critique and undermine dominant economic narratives that are not consistent with human wellbeing and ecological integrity
  • Look for new memes, stories and narratives that can support transformation
  • Engage in collaborative action research projects to transform narratives and learn what works.
