Abstract (EN): It is undisputable that geology influences the economic growth and development of each country and thereby its cultural framework. If one acknowledges that geology influences these results, then one has also to recognise that fostering geoscience education may help to reduce regional disparities determined by geological specificities and with impacts on economic growth and social development. Geoethics may help to re-evaluate behaviours, to increase awareness for alternative human activities or even to redirect economic models of growth and development. Under this framework, three fictional stories were developed, describing different life experiences, educational discrepancies and modus faciendi of citizens from different fictional countries. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016.
