0.0 (English) – Sustelling Elearning

When we talk about “SusTelling” – made up of the words “sustainability” and “storytelling” – in our project, we mean storytelling in the context of sustainability communication.

The online learning unit consists of three modules:

1. What is SusTelling?

2. How does SusTelling work?

3. How can SusTelling be used?

It will take you about 45 minutes to complete all three modules.
