Register in advance for this workshop.

For the past four years, we have been teaching environmental psychology at Bachelor's level, with an original approach using science fiction writing and more precisely the protokools invented by the Zanzibar collective. This conference will examine this attempt from two complementary angles: on the one hand, from a pedagogical point of view: how can science fiction help us make students think about their own relationship with nature? On the other hand, from a scientific point of view: what do we learn through the dreamed or distressing worlds constructed by our students about their current relationship with nature?
