What if your story could change the world?
When it comes to creating social change, we imagine that only front leaders of huge organizations with big budgets can make a difference. It feels like we can’t do much more than sport a Livestrong bracelet or tweet #BlackLivesMatter.
What if we told you the most influential tool you can use to incite change is something you already owned? When it comes to inspiring action and harnessing momentum, storytelling is a key tool in shaping how people understand the world. Whether we’re rallying, attending a conference, or sitting in a classroom, we have opportunities to share our personal narratives.
Join us for this 6-hour workshop where you’ll:
- learn how to analyze and construct strategic stories using Story-Based Strategy
- learn how to use your personal story to strategically undermine dominant narratives
- workshop and practice telling your personal story
- walk away with a professionally-recorded audio story about your life that you can use however you want
This workshop is partnered with EMW Community Space and all participants will be invited to share their story during the August East Meets Words Open Mic on Friday, August 11, 2017.
