Shaping a Sustainable Future – The Storytelling Behind Sustainable Action
June 19 @ 18:00 - 20:30 CEST

In a world increasingly shaped by data, policies, and scientific reports, storytelling remains one of the most powerful tools for driving sustainable change. While facts inform, stories inspire. They humanize complex issues like climate change, biodiversity loss, and social inequality, making them relatable and emotionally resonant. Storytelling bridges the gap between knowledge and action by connecting people to the real-world impacts of unsustainable practices—and the hope embedded in sustainable solutions.
Net Impact Amsterdam proudly welcomes you to an inspiring gathering of sustainability professionals, each showcasing their unique appraoch to driving positive change and leveraging the power of storytelling to do so.
Mireille Wille (Think Big Act Now) will present her take on how to bring the topic of climate change closer to people’s minds and hearts by focusing on the individual impact that everyone can have.
Prunelle Girardeau (Imagine 5) will share a story from the Imagine5’s magazine and speak to the importance of storytelling that fuels imagination and hope.
Bram Karst (Greenpeace) will take us behind the scenes of Greenpeace’s aviation campaign, sharing how it has evolved over the years and the impact it continues to make.
After the presentations, join us for a dynamic reflection session where speakers will dive deeper into the storytelling considerations behind their messages.
