Online workshop empowers rural participants through visual storytelling for climate action
On November 5, 2025, the RurALL project hosted an online workshop titled “Telling the Change: Visual Storytelling for Rural Climate Action”, bringing together over 250 registered participants from rural territories, NGOs, youth groups, environmental activists, and other underrepresented voices - from more than 40 countries across the EU and beyond. The session aimed to strengthen active citizenship in rural areas by equipping participants with creative tools to communicate their experiences, advocate for climate justice, and influence both local and European decision-making.

Visual Storytelling Event
We organize an international participatory project activity will be a visual storytelling event, which will include an online workshop about the power of visual storytelling in climate activism, awareness raising, and engagement as well as the development of short videos by rural citizens sharing their own ideas and visions of a green, inclusive, and prosperous rural future. The workshop will be held online by ANP|WWF, who have extensive experience in using visual storytelling in public campaigns, international communications, and climate advocacy, and will include practical advice and tools on how people can create immersive stories for environmental and social change. We will then encourage participants from rural areas all over Europe to create their own stories of a sustainable rural future or share what they are doing to transform their communities (using and sharing a dedicated hashtag).
