THE SCRIBES

Storytelling is one of humanity’s oldest technologies. It’s how we’ve organised ourselves for the past 200,000 years: how we’ve share values, agreed on social norms, and passed on knowledge. We’ve used storytelling to beat the plough shear into sword, and sword into plough shear. We’ve wielded this technology for great good, and for terrible harm.

The Scribes visits the storytellers who are shaping how we reach social consensus around climate collapse and the many overlapping wicked problems society faces, and explores the notion of social tipping points to drive change.
