Ecotransition stories is a project dedicated to the ecological transition and the narratives that forged our past, shape our present and will be decisive for the future.
With this project we aim to contribute to a positive change that we seek in the world.
Words
Working in a consortium on a common mission requires from all the partners to communicate beyond the differences whether they are cultural, linguistic, social or of other nature. To communicate effectively, stay coherent with the expressed values and thus, be able to reach our objectives, we find it indispensable to pay particular attention to the words we use and the terms we apply.
Therefore the lexicon is being created through out the project.
Transition
At the early stage of the project, we have agreed on a common definition of ecological transition.
For us, ecological transition implies the participation of all, individually and collectively, in cooperation spirit. We believe that it is necessary to know and be aware of ourselves, of our ecosystem, to evolve our way of thinking, of being in the world, in order to live together in a world of harmony, in peace with other humans and nature.
Stories
The narrative approach, as proposed by the Fabrique des Transitions, offers us a new perspective on how to work on the socio-ecological transformations.
Our guiding principle is the plurality of the narratives reminiscing the past, telling the present and imagining the possible future.
We search of the ways to engage, to empower and to create favourable circumstances for the alternative stories to be expressed and to be heard.
