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.
