Erasmus+: Intergenerational Storytelling for a Greener European Future

Erasmus+: Intergenerational Storytelling for a Greener European Future takes place on 27 November 2026. Venue: GC Elzenhof - Tura Room, Ixelles.

Join us in person for intergenerational storytelling and a focus on a greener, more sustainable future ! 🌿 Stories for a Greener Future Connecting Generations Through Nature, Storytelling & Human Connection in the Age of AI. Can stories from our past help shape a more sustainable future? And in a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence, why is it more important than ever to preserve human stories and the wisdom passed between generations? Join us in Brussels for the NaNu Final Conference, an inspiring afternoon dedicated to the power of storytelling, intergenerational learning, environmental awareness and cultural heritage. As artificial intelligence transforms the way we create, communicate and share knowledge, NaNu invites us to reflect on something deeply human: the stories, memories and lived experiences that connect us to one another and to nature. Through traditional tales, personal narratives and creative educational resources, the NaNu project has explored how storytelling can bring younger and older generations together, preserve cultural heritage and inspire greater care for our environment. 🌱 What can you expect? 📖 Discover the NaNu project and its results We will present the key achievements of our Erasmus+ project and introduce the educational resources developed through our collaboration across Europe: - The NaNu Illustrated StoryBook: A collection of traditional stories exploring the relationship between humans and nature. - The NaNu StoryBook User's Guide: Practical tools for educators, parents, grandparents and community organisations to encourage environmental learning through storytelling. - The NaNu Online Human Library: A collection of short videos bringing traditional stories and personal narratives to life. 🎬 Experience stories brought to life During the event, we will screen one or two short videos created as part of the NaNu project. These videos are inspired by stories researched and collected from different communities, reflecting cultural heritage, traditional knowledge and the deep relationship between people and the natural world. 💬 Open Discussion: Why Do Intergenerational Stories Matter in the Age of AI? This will be the heart of our conference! In a world where artificial intelligence can generate stories, images and information in seconds, what makes human storytelling unique? We invite you to participate in an open and interactive discussion exploring questions such as: - Why is it important to preserve the memories, experiences and traditional knowledge of older generations? - Can AI-generated stories ever replace the emotional and cultural value of stories shared by real people? - How can storytelling help younger generations develop a stronger connection with nature and environmental responsibility? - How can we combine new technologies with traditional storytelling without losing authentic human voices? We want to hear your thoughts, experiences and perspectives! No expertise in artificial intelligence or environmental education is required. Just bring your curiosity and willingness to join the conversation. 🤝 Connect, Share & Network Following the presentations and discussion, we invite you to stay for informal networking over drinks and snacks. Meet educators, storytellers, researchers, environmental advocates, community organisations and others interested in building a more inclusive and sustainable future. ☕ Drinks and snacks will be provided. 🌿 About the NaNu Project NaNu – The Nature and Nurture Project is an Erasmus+ initiative that brings generations together through storytelling to promote ecological awareness and preserve cultural heritage.
