So called „Green Storytelling" is an approach within Media Creation that focuses on integrating climate change, biodiversity, environmental protection themes and sustainability practices into the narratives. We believe in the power of stories to evoke emotions and initiate change in the world.  

Not only can media be produced in an environmentally friendly and resource-saving way, but it is also possible to use “Green Storytelling” to tell certain narratives with concrete values and opportunities for action, thereby giving people hope and showing the way to new positive worlds of a nearer future. The media professionals take in a major role model function through the stories we tell.

Green Storytelling can be divided into three main components: Pragmatic Green Storytelling, which are Sustainable Screenplay Decisions. Implicit Green Storytelling, about Character Behavior & Visual Imagery. And last but not least Explicit Green Storytelling, the Thematic Integration.

The Institute offers a wide range of services around the topic of Storytelling like Script Consultancy (Sustainability goes Writer's rooms), Target group analysis (Different people need different stories), Workshops and lectures (Green Storytelling and transformational processes) and Research and Development (Communication strategies that promote sustainability).
