Additional activity:

Contribute to the elaboration of a collective creative multispecies story. The start of the story will be shared with the group via a Google doc, allowing for live edits to be tracked and together produce a creative piece. 

Contribute 3 sentences to the story and see where we end up!

The story is available here: 


Step for the final works:

Collect the materials, information, and other elements for the elaboration of the final works and start to reflect about the connections between your case and the overall discussions of the course (individually or collectively according with the choice if to do it individually or collectively).
