'From Nuisance to Narrative'

Ever thought: “Ugh, get rid of that animal!”?

A fox near the chicken coop, a wild boar tearing up the garden, a goose blocking your bike path... Sound familiar?

In this short and thought-provoking challenge, we dive into that feeling. You’ll explore how a small conflict can be the beginning of a much bigger story — one that starts with frustration, but ends in awareness, empathy, and maybe even wonder.

Join in. Write along. And complete your story on October 4th — World Animal Day — with a message that deserves to be heard.

What to expect

• A short daily prompt for 3 days (just 5–10 minutes per day), delivered to your inbox

• A mix of reflection, storytelling, and perspective-shifting

• We wrap up on October 4th (World Animal Day) with your own mini-story or message — which you can, but don’t have to, share online.

Who is this for?

Anyone curious about the relationship between humans and wild animals — and up for a small creative challenge.

No writing or wildlife experience required. Just a spark of curiosity is enough.
