The idea for this special issue emerged during the international conference “Narratives in Times of radical Transformation” that was conducted online from 19 to 20 November 2020. The interdisciplinary conference was jointly organized by the Technical University Berlin (Chair for Labour Science, Technology & Participation (TUB, ARTE), the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS), the Jungian International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP) and the Kokoro Research Center at Kyoto University, recently renamed in Institute for the Future of Human Society (Kokoro). All four institutions share a common interest in the reflection of narratives for personal, social and cultural transformation, but from quite different perspectives: While the Jungian Analytical Psychology and the Kokoro Center emphasizes a psycholo gical and spiritual perspective, the IASS and TU Berlin have their roots in sustainability studies, STS (Science, Technology, Society), social and engineering sciences and the humanities. In short, the conference integrated quite different perspectives on narratives as catalysts for change. The conference aimed to explore how the persuasive power of narratives have been and can be used to understand, facilitate, and shape radical transformations towards a more sustainable world. The conference was planned to be conducted physically in Berlin. However, due to the ongoing pandemic situation and travelling restrictions, the conference organizers decided to switch to a digital format. This has proved to be a success. Around 150 people from all over the world took part in the conference. The consistency of the discussions throughout the two days and the quality of contributions, both from the speakers and the discussants, were of an extraordinarily high level. With respect to the contributions to this special issue, it is evident that constructive comments from the discussions have been directly incorporated into the papers. The editor also approved a small number of additional contributions that seemed to complement the papers presented at the workshop. All contributions were exposed to a rigorous peer review process. Narratives constitute more than simple stories about an event or an activity. They form typical patterns of plausible sequences that provide, most often intuitively, meaning to what is being expressed. They are social engines for sense-making in a complex and confusing world. As an agent for complexity reduction, they create a firm foundation for current and future-oriented action plans, they can help to shape a commonly shared framework for co-operation between actors and enhance the impression of reliability and predictability when it comes to future expectations (WBGU 2011, 84). Compared to leitmotifs and imaginaries as visionary pictures, narrative have a more diachronical character, they tell consistent stories that resonate with cognitions as well as emotions.

Newly developed fungal-based materials have promising potential with regard to mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and enabling a shift towards a more circular economy. However, an important step towards their success in the bioeconomy is consumers’ acceptance and sustainable consumption of these materials. Highlighting the power of narratives, this paper looks at the symbolic nature of fungi and discusses how common perceptions can be reshaped through narrative structures. We first identify common expectations, hopes and fears of fungi and then focus on how potentially negative beliefs or fears regarding fungal-based materials can be transformed through disseminating and reframing scientific information in a narrative structure. Specifically, we discuss characteristics of a story that can induce changes in attitudes and behaviours among consumers to induce sustainable consumer choices. To adjust and promote these sustainable narratives within the society, we suggest innovative science communication and especially citizen participation formats as adequate tools.

ABSTRACT New challenges facing society and universities, such as the effects of climate change or the increasing levels of interconnectedness and digitisation, are changing the way we understand common spaces and teaching methods. New paradigms such as smart campuses are becoming increasingly popular in response to these new needs. This work has sought to shed light on some of the research gaps that still exist in this area of study, focusing on how the university community perceives this new model of university. Based on the information gathered from a sample of 405 members of the university community of the Alcoy Campus of the Universitat Politècnica de València in Spain, the results obtained in this research reveal a significant interest in the smart campus paradigm, albeit uneven among the different groups of university members. In addition, respondents showed a greater preference for strategies linked to the smart axes of Welfare, Environment and Education, Innovation and Research than for those based on purely technological aspects. All these findings may have relevant implications for educational research as well as for university policies and strategies.

While the idea that Aphrodite was specifically "caught" naked while bathing is sufficient to justify her nudity in the making of the statue, it shows us that the Greeks particularly disliked female nudity. In Cnidos, Medici and Capitoline Aphrodites, it shows that the goddess was caught while taking a bath due to the presence of the hydria vessel, and her slouched posture and her trying to cover her most private parts in addition to her draped outfits showed that she had a certain shyness. While the apparent nakedness of the strong male body was admirable, it was not easy to break a woman's nudity and with it a social taboo; therefore, it was considered inappropriate for women to appear naked. From this need for justification for nudity, we can deduce that the role of women in society was to present a clothed, modest appearance to reinforce her chastity. The Aphrodite of Cnidos was one of the important steps that started to destroy the determined female role. Despite the general nakedness of the Cnidos statue, there is no sign of the vulva. This fit with the idea that women were not sexually aggressive, even divine. Aphrodite, as the goddess of sexuality and love, represented the goddess who preserves her strength instead of covering her groin, and therefore a female audience began to appear to protect her own sexual power. In Aphrodite's case, she personifies love and sexuality; so she was responsible for representing what love and sexuality should look like, and her influence on women became more acutely felt and imitated. Apart from the message that Aphrodite gave to women during the Hellenistic Period, she also had a different appeal to the male world: naked and sensual. The fact that Aphrodite began to appear naked in public has turned gender roles upside down.

The aim of the paper is to develop a proposal for an Active, Inclusive and Trust-Based Framework of Environmental Education of the Elderly. It is based on the concept of environmental education, active and healthy ageing as well as generativity, and also takes into account trust in sources of environmental knowledge. In the course of quantitative research (n = 401) carried out among Poles 55+ in order to validate it, the perception of environmental issues, the awareness of and motivation for undertaking pro-environmental actions, and the credibility of sources of knowledge about environmental behaviour were examined. Elderly individuals in Poland express their belief in the need to take care of the natural environment. They are afraid that maintaining the status quo will cause permanent damage to the environment. In their opinion, pro-environmental behaviour is necessary to save the planet. These key conclusions have confirmed the correctness of the assumptions about the need for environmental education of the elderly, leading primarily to their environmental activation. Varied assessments of the credibility of sources of environmental knowledge indicate the need to assign them adequate priorities in the environmental education of the elderly. Our findings have important implications for shaping non-formal environmental education of seniors.
