Annas FIRST REFLECTIONS ON HER STANCE (2/2)

Anna believes that it takes a certain stance to use storytelling for sustainability. People shouldn’t be treated as if they were dumb and the story shouldn’t be too one-sided. Anna is aware of the risks associated with sustainability, such as manipulation or simplification. So, Anna wants to think carefully about what effects her story should and could have for others, and what effects they shouldn’t have.
