How stories shape the world | with Astrid Nierhoff of StoryAtelier | S3E7

Inner Green Deal - the human dimension of sustainability.

If stories shape our reality, how can we all become better storytellers? We ask Astrid Nierhoff, a passionate and seasoned storytelling expert. 

Her academic research around the interplay between imagination and reality led her to co-found StoryAtelier, a non-profit that uses the power of stories as the basis for deepening understanding on individual and community levels.

Inner Green Deal host Tamsin Walker spoke to Astrid to talk about the power of story and narrative, the potential impact of asking ‘what if…’,  and why it is that we need to become better listeners.
