Green from Script to Screen, an initiative founded by Elaine Walsh and Daragh Goan, presents the Worldbuilding Workshop taking place on Friday, 20th February 2026, from 9:30-11:00 at Haymarkey House, Dublin 7.
Storytelling is about world-building. World-building is the fictional setting for the fictional story, and all stories onscreen are the collective, collaborative world-building creations of producers, writers, directors and craftspeople. As the climate crisis threatens almost every aspect of our shared planet, it’s clear that our own world is in need of rebuilding.
Cinema and art in general has the super power to create compelling stories, worlds and character driven solutions and convert audience anxiety to agency, autonomy and action. Stories onscreen also engage the establishment by speaking truth to power in the culture we create and engage with. By telling stories that reshape how we see the world, we move on from feelings of powerlessness and paralyzing doom toward tangible solutions, local impact, and personal agency. Filmmakers and their work have the potential to forge emotional connection, cultivate empathy, and counter misinformation.
