Frames and Stories

Wednesday, May 7, 2014

We are surrounded by frames. When we hear the word ‘nature’, subconsciously a bundle of different memories, emotions and values are activated. Such associations, often leading to strong narratives under the surface of our awareness, are called ‘frames’.

The world of green career competences

Using frames in a sense of learning for sustainability means using them responsibly and always in a transparent way.
