Explainer videos

This page contains four explainers that gives you a shorter introduction as an overview to topis and materials in the Urge knowledgebase; Ecosocial Work, The Vision Method explained, Advocacy, and Ecosocial Work in Practice. Explainer films are suitable for supporting education in some of the more philosophical and methodological topics of the project. A complex issue or theme is summarized into core content in 2-10 minutes. Explainers are useful when you want to reduce complex content to more ‘digestible bites’ for target audiences. The films work especially well in combination with other materials and classroom activities.
