Course Details

Often storytelling feels out of reach. We think of the creatives, the videographers, writers, and the artists.

But storytelling is a communications tool that we can all leverage within the sector. This in-person workshop is an introduction to storytelling and for people, organizations, and communities.

Learn about the stories you can tell, the different ways of telling stories, and the many ways to connect with an audience to have your stories heard.

You’ll have a chance to reflect on your own storytelling, leverage your strengths, practice storytelling, and build confidence to tell stories that will connect with people and promote action.

This workshop is for you if…

You’ve got a story to tell, but you don’t know where to start
You’re craving in-person, collaborative learning with peers in your community
You need a roadmap for crafting a story that furthers your impact
You are in the ‘business’ of changing hearts and minds – of funders, policy makers, stakeholders, or community
You want to inspire action or engagement
You want to learn the building blocks of an effective story
