Welcome to The Heroine’s Journey: Futures Tales for Change Makers of All Ages.

Here you can find a collection of tales – inspired by past tales, new realities and emergent futures. We hope you enjoy the tales as much as we have in creating them.

Futures Tales is also an educational initiative focused on creating alternative futures through storytelling. The primary intent of this initiative is to facilitate and strengthen the emergence of progressive and socially inclusive futures.

We use constructive storytelling as an educational practice as it can bring about transformational change, a shift in worldviews. It is also easy to use, flexible, and inexpensive. The heroine’s journey intends to use local knowledge and language to foster peace and partnership-oriented individual and social narratives through the process of alternative story writing and revision of traditional tales. This is done through deconstructing master narratives, understanding deep cultures and transforming the underlying myths that shape our identities. Alternative stories – written by children and adults alike – can be a powerful tool  to engage with critical thinking and promote a diversity of marginalized voices.

We hope the tales and the larger project will appeal to all change makers who desire to change themselves and the world.
