Constructive Visions
Our Role: Chapter Lead, Author, Engagement Team Member, Education Partnerships Project Manager
About the Project:
The “Constructive Visions Book Project: Stories for a more sustainable post-pandemic future” was launched by a global group of over 50 National Geographic Explorers and their collaborators.These explorers united to begin reflecting on how behavioral changes under COVID-19 were positively and negatively affecting our relationship with nature and other aspects of our society. We wondered: What would the world look like five years from now if our positive changes in behavior continued long after the pandemic? How would the world look if some of the positive side effects were somehow maintained as we collectively found our “new normal”? These questions have led to an international multi-media educational project (e-book and interactive website) of stories, which paints a realistic vision of hope for a more sustainable future.
The chapters’ themes range from education, sustainable economies, Indigenous leadership, and climate crisis to food waste, wildlife conservation, and much more. They include a wide diversity of voices from around the world, including 21 countries across six continents. Each multi-sensory chapter incorporates vivid storytelling, mixed media (photos, drawings, video, and soundscapes), and a set of educational challenges that can be used by both educators and students who wish to join our Constructive Visions Collective for a more positive post-COVID future.
