How does a place shape a story?
From city streets to personal spaces and digital environments, the contexts in which we live and interact influence how narratives are created, shared, and understood. Recognizing this, Evolutionary Archetypes Consulting SL (EAC) is hosting the first session of the HATE-LESS.EU Train the Trainer series, focusing on Storytelling Through Space.

From Environment to Narrative
This interactive online workshop is part of achieving our goal of equipping youth workers and educators with tools to address hate speech and disinformation through media literacy and participatory approaches.
The session explores how environments – physical and digital – shape meaning in storytelling, and how young people can use their surroundings to express their perspectives and challenge harmful narratives.
Through hands-on, non-formal learning methods, participants will learn how to guide youth in transforming everyday spaces into powerful storytelling tools.
What Participants Will Learn
During the training, participants will:
- Gain practical experience with participatory video methods
- Explore how space and context influence storytelling
- Develop skills in visual framing and narrative construction
- Learn how to support youth in creating counter-narratives to hate speech and disinformation
- Walk away with a ready-to-use activity for their own training contexts
- Connect with a European network of trainers and youth workers
What You’ll Need
To fully engage in the session, participants are encouraged to prepare:
- A laptop (recommended for participation)
- Access to AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT)
- A video recording device (phone, laptop, or camera)
- Optional: tripod, ring light, or video editing tools
Why This Training Matters
In today’s digital landscape, young people are constantly exposed to narratives shaped by social media, algorithms, and visual culture. Developing the ability to critically engage with these narratives and to create their own is essential.
The HATE-LESS Train the Trainer series in Spain supports youth workers in moving beyond awareness, enabling young people to actively participate in shaping inclusive, diverse, and empathetic narratives through media.
By focusing on participatory video and storytelling, this training contributes to a broader goal: empowering youth to challenge hate speech, express their identities, and contribute to more resilient communities.
