New Narratives

Imagine desirable futures and make transition easier to picture, discuss, and share.

New Narratives Fresk helps groups move from diagnosis to imagination. It explores stories, emotions, and future images so ecological transition feels more desirable and actionable.

Introduction

It works especially well after a more analytical workshop, or when an event wants to leave people with momentum instead of paralysis.

New Narratives

"An interesting and stimulating format for thinking about concrete steps toward a desirable yet realistic future."

New Narratives

"A wonderful workshop for becoming aware of the biases imposed on us by everyday narratives. It is liberating to give ourselves permission to imagine other futures and reassuring to connect with other humans who share the same concerns."

Sylvain Martin

Coach et facilitateur

New Narratives

"This is a workshop that helps people better understand the barriers to eco-responsible behavior and thinking. It is good team building, and it also brings in other points of view and helps us become aware of our blind spots."

New Narratives

"The second part is really wonderful, from start to finish: listening to the narratives. It is much more accessible to a very wide audience: children, adults, seniors, with or without formal education. Very playful and joyful, while still focused on finding solutions."

New Narratives Fresk

"Concrete solutions after the workshop were missing, but otherwise it was very interesting."
