Stories shape how children understand risk, responsibility, and possibility. While data explains climate change, stories make it meaningful. Narrative is humanity’s oldest technology for passing down survival instructions, and it remains our most powerful tool for preparing children for an uncertain future. Studies show that when information is presented as a story, it is processed through the same parts of the brain as a real-life experience, creating "empathetic engagement" that raw data cannot.

ReGen draws from the tradition of literature and film to explore themes of adaptation and resilience. We recognize that education is not only about preparing children for exams; it is about preparing them for the unexpected. If children are to grow into climate leaders, they must first be given stories where they are the protagonists, not just the powerless victims. This "protagonist mindset" is the foundation of leadership and community action.

A story of a village that successfully manages a landslide is more than entertainment, it is a blueprint. By using narrative, we move the conversation from "the world is ending" to "the world is changing, and here is how we will lead through it." When a child identifies with a hero who uses their knowledge to save their school, that child is far more likely to take proactive steps in their own life.
